Anyone have any first hand knowledge or info about what's going on there? Anything I can do other than follow the latest news?
There has been a lot of stuff on libcom.org and the ICC has published two articles on its site. A lot of different news threads on libcom but this article is a good synthesis http://libcom.org/news/insurrection-...o-far-17012011 ICC article written just before the fall of Ben Ali http://en.internationalism.org/iccon...sia-solidarity ICC article denouncing the media campaign about the fall of Ben Ali - and the black out that was imposed on the weeks of struggles beforehand http://en.internationalism.org/iccon.../tunisia-media
Looks like the struggles spreads...right now to Egypt where the protesting is the most active right now. My cousins in Jordan (Amman) say there has been protesting there non-stop for the past two weeks. Also, in the West Bank my dad tells me that approval of the PA is at an all time low after a list of concessions they made to Israel has been released.
