The Tunisian flag

The Tunisian flag

Roadside cafe near Sousse

Seen fluttering in a roadside vilage, the red 5-pointed star and crescent moon both symbols of Islam, in a white circle on a red background denotes the national flag. It flies from all government buildings and at the time of my visit was perhaps especially visible due to Tunisia's participation in the World Cup.
