January 22, 2016: Amina and her mother welcome us into their small shop selling secondhand clothes and household odds and ends. For the past week, because of the tension, Amira’s father has forbidden her from going to school in the city center. It’s too dangerous. So the 18-year-old spends her days in Karma watching the sheep eat the plastic bags and garbage that are piling up. Amira isn’t allowed to venture too far into the neighborhood. That’s her mother’s order this time. Her mother, who runs a tiny shop, wants to keep her within sight: “Amira—I don’t want her to be harassed on the street by young people. I’m worried about her two brothers, too. Their father has allowed them to go to school, but it closes in the afternoon. I don’t want them to take advantage of that to go protest, or to be approached by terrorists.” The specter of jihadism has become a source of terror—or an opportunity—for poor families in Kasserine.
