Hundreds of Tunisians, including Islamists, marched through central Tunis Thursday to protest the visit of US Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton but no incidents were reported. It was the third such demonstration in three days against Clinton, who earlier Thursday opened talks here with interim President Foued Mebazaa, who replaced ousted Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
The demonstrators chanted "Hillary Clinton, you are not welcome, get out", "No colonisation after the revolution," or "No to US tutelage on Islamic soil", as they warned against any US intervention in neighbouring revolt-wracked Libya. "She came before the upcoming elections to impose the US strategy on Tunisia. But dream on. We brought down a dictatorship and we also know how to protect our country," said 60-year-old Naziha Bahri.
