Where have all the snipers gone?

I found this Banksy style graffiti on a wall in Zarzis, Tunisia, where I am currently working. I asked my colleague about it because I am a huge fan of Banksy, and I have the original version of the Girl with a Balloon as a tattoo on my back.
My colleague informed me that it was painted during the revolution in January, and the script reads: Where have all the snipers gone? This was in response to the absence of the police on the streets.
10 months later, it seems a fitting tribute to those who protested for democracy, and finally won it and expressed their right to vote, peacefully, on Sunday.
Congratulations Tunisia!
