The neighborhood of Douar Hicher, in Manouba Governorate, west of the Tunisian capital, was tense overnight after clashes took place between security forces and Salafi activists. The clashes resulted in the death of an activist, and two security members were injured. According to a spokesman for the Tunisian Interior Ministry, the clashes started when activists attempted to storm two National Guard centers to protest the arrest of a young Salafi suspected of assaulting a security officer. Yesterday's clashes are considered the most violent since the attack on the American embassy in mid-September. Joining us from Tunis is our correspondent Ramzy Hufaid. Ramzy, has calm been restored to Manouba Governorate?

The governorate of Manouba and specifically the neighborhood of Douar Hicher are still tense. After relative calm at dawn, the situation was tense again this morning. Salafis took refuge in the mosque, outside of which clashes erupted yesterday; some of them were masked. There are reports that calls were sent to other Salafi groups to support their friends and comrades inside the mosque in the area of Douar Hicher.

Today, the security forces received reinforcement. The number of vehicles and officers was increased. Some of the semi-private forces were more present than yesterday, and there is an elevated security alert. It must be noted that security agents protested today; they are demanding that the work of the security institution be constitutionalized, and especially by activating the decree that deals with the gradual use of force. The security agents who protested want to be allowed to use gradual force and not to stand with their hands tied in the face of the attacks that they have been recently subjected to.

Thank you Ramzy Hufaid, our correspondent from Tunisia. The Lebanese opposition March 14th coalition is boycotting the government and is calling on Prime Minister Nabil Mikati to resign. A statement that was issued on behalf of the opposition at the end of a meeting held yesterday also called for filing a complaint at the UN Security Council and the Arab League against Syria, accusing it of being involved in the case of former Minister Michel Samaha. The statement also called for expelling the Syrian ambassador and demanded that Hezbollah announce its commitment to Lebanon's neutral stance on regional and international issues, and to combat the presence of arms outside of the state's control.
