Another Tunisian here. Our country is backwards when it comes to tech. Heck, you can get arrested for bringing a drone into the country without proper security authorization...
Putting aside the arrest which is legal,
I wouldn't say Tunisia is backwards when it comes to technology and innovation but I guess
with security reasons Tunisia find it self impellent to make such decisions, I mean the last years haven't been
easy when it comes to terrorism and now you're between the civil war in Libya and maybe a revolution in Algeria.
