1. Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi:

   Among the often desperate young unemployed, the call to jihadism has worked, four thousand Tunisians have joined jihad, in Syria, Libya and elsewhere, and some 500 have already come back here, where they pose a threat. That is not to mention the five or six thousand others we have succeeded in preventing from leaving.
