My dear brother Sidi,
Thanks for the update . I am not  surprised at the results . What did you expect?
Please be careful and try to keep a low profile. Foreigners are always scapegoats in cases like this
(remember what happened just a couple of weeks  ago)
Hope your family is taking this turmoil with patience .
we are praying for you all
Habib
