This is from a demonstration on Wednesday in Sfax, where tens of thousands of people came out to sing the national anthem. Note that there are no cries - at least in this video - of Allahhu Akhbar. Sfax is on the east coast of Tunisia, just north of the Gulf of Gabes.
Let's go to the videotape.
And here's a demonstration in Hammamet, which is in northeastern Tunisia - apparently on the Mediterranean coast (it's not on the map).
Let's go to the videotape.
This is from a general strike in the city of Sousse, which is two hours south (in a straight line on the map) of Tunis on the Gulf of Hammamet.
Let's go to the videotape.
Finally, there's this video from a student strike in neighboring Algeria, in the town of Bejaia (it's not on the map, so I didn't embed a map).
Let's go to the videotape.
All of this is highly unusual for the Arab world. Let's hope it's the start of something.
