People in the Tunisian resort town of Sousse have held a march to denounce the attack in which at least 38 people - mostly tourists - were killed by a gunman on a nearby beach on Friday.

The crowds gathered late on Saturday at a hotel also targeted by the attacker.

They marched through the town expressing sympathy with relatives of the victims, 15 of whom were British.

Tunisia's PM Habib Essid announced a security clampdown after the attack claimed by Islamic State (IS).

1. ISIS can't stand to have Tunisia succeed as a democracy.

2. And that's about the size of it...the bastards.

4. Defy all you want, the lights are still on in Mosul.

IS has deep support and os a functioning goverent. And we do nothing about it. Why not take out power and water to Mosul? Why not break all the pipelines? Destroy the sewage pumping stations, make them stew in their filth.

5. With all due respect, AA, I usually avoid even reading, much less

responding to your posts. The resentment and rage that permeates them is usually more than my psyche can take in one go.

FWIW, there are still thousands of innocent civilians trapped within the walls of Mosul. Their suffering in such a scenario would be untenable.

6. Then IS stays.

Or how do we cut them off from their main base of support, a tickle fight?

7. Continue and increase backing for Kurdish militias,

who are ready and willing to do the fighting. It's their town, after all.

[AngryAmish]

8. Have the Kurds take over the Sunni arab homeland in Iraq and Syria?

That would be a disaster.

Why do you think everyone in the region fears a Kurdish state? Because they fear it would be another Isreal, and ethnic state with goals different than their neighbors. Personally, the only plan that ever made sense was Biden's partician plan. But Turkey is in NATO....

9. This is a good start

Hopefully, this movement will gather steam all over the world and being civil, human and humane will be considered more important than the hegemony of Islam by its followers.

10. That location, Tunisian resorts its going to be hard to protect that area from 'attacks'

Their two neighbor countries, Algeria and Libya have so many different factions and have been exploited for hundreds of years. Not a safe tourist destination anymore IMO.

11. 99.999% of the population can be against terror

It only takes one terrorist to ruin a tourist industry. There's nothing the Tunisian government can really do to stop a lone gunman.

Just as we find out here in the US every time there's mass shooting by a lone gunman.

12. I do agree that all Christians must also apologize and explain all terrorist attacks by Christians.

Where are the voices of Christians condemning Mr. Roof, a Christian killing on behalf of Christian white supremacy???

So he said.

13. This is amazing

A survivor of the massacre in Tunisia has revealed local hotel staff members formed a human shield on the beach in a heroic bid to protect tourists from the rampaging gunman.

John Yeoman, 46, said Muslim staff members from the Bellevue Hotel told the gunman he would have to kill them first as they formed a human barricade between the shooter and Western tourists.

The chain of bodies can be seen in images taken of killer Seifeddine Rezgui which emerged yesterday - about a dozen men stand side-by-side as the gunman, pictured in the foreground, marches away from them carrying his Kalashnikov.

It is just one of many incredible tales of survival to emerge in the aftermath of the deadly attack in which British survivors have described playing dead as Rezgui 'executed' wounded tourists.
