Tunisia breaks ties with Qatar over al-Jazeera

Tunisia has closed its embassy in the Qatari capital Doha, accusing the Qatar-based satellite channel al-Jazeera of launching a "hostile campaign" against the country. The Tunisian government was upset that al-Jazeera "provided a platform" for Mun'sif Al-Marzouqi, a Tunisian human rights activist, who returned to Tunisia last weekend after five years in France. He has called for peaceful resistance to the government and leads a banned opposition party. Al-Jazeera's programming has strained Tunisian-Qatari ties in the past, with Tunis claiming its reports lacked objectivity. (Via The Media Line)
