Tunis – For many Tunisians preparing to vote this Sunday (October 23), the death of Gadaffi could not have come at a more significant time. There are thousands of Libyans here – either those who’ve fled as refugees or those who’ve come to seek medical care for injuries sustained in the fighting.

“Libyans are our brothers, we are together. Nothing can separate us – not Ben Ali, not Gadaffi!” shouts Nasser, a young Tunisian, waving a Libyan flag as he runs alongside the convoy of vehicles carrying Libyan ex-fighters, which is making slow and noisy progress down the wide boulevard Mohammed V in central Tunis.
Watching quietly from the sidelines is Ali, a Libyan from Misrata.“I’m happy, this is a great day” he says. “We’ve been following things here in Tunisia, and I really believe that after the death of Gadaffi we could even think about organising our own elections”.
