Tunisia remains one of the most closed societies in the region, and as such without an independent media it is difficult to gauge public opinion. Nevertheless, despite reports of a major threat from the renamed Algerian militants, al-Qaeda Maghreb (formerly known as GSPC), and claims that Tunisia is now a base for the group, we believe that risks to political stability remain unchanged.
