@krim, Never happy...lol. even when morocco score and reach economic and social targets.?Are you crazy You need to go and check by yourself the economic disaster and political deadlock in tunisia.It s a total mess! Also,Normally,lybia is a wealthier country than tunisia and should top the list. You need to understand that democracy is the will of the people living in tunisia and magrehb and not the will of EU or USA agenda.Ill
