X17 EXCLUSIVE - Angelina Jolie's Visit To Tunisia Sparks Mini Riot
Posted on Tue Apr 5, 2011 09:34 AM PDT
Libyan refugees chanted "Angelina Jolie, we want to die for you!" as the actress made her way through the Shusha refugee camp in Tunisia today, an X17 photographer on the ground tells us.
Our photographer reports exclusively:
- "The people were beyond excited to see her. There were thousands of refugees screaming her name and chanting. The crowd was closing in on her and her security detail; it was intense."
The UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador was forced to cancel half of her visit for security reasons. The military was overwhelmed by the crowd and, seemingly, unprepared to protect Jolie sufficiently. Our photographer adds:
- When people found out Angelina was leaving early, they had mixed reaction. Some were upset but still enthusiastic to have her there. Angelina was forced to find shelter in a tent and she had to be protected by 30 military personal with machine guns. Angelina really took a risk by going all the way to the Libyan border."
We're told Jolie also had plans to visit an Moroccan hospital in Tunisia, but she was forced to cancel those plans for security reasons. She is already back in Tunis and will head back to Paris from there.
Photos and video coming soon ...

So, you are saying that the impoverished Libyan re
refugees recognize Angelina Jolie from what...seeing
her films at the local movie theater or from reading PEOPLE magazine...or maybe from checking out X17
on their laptops?
Paparazzis hang out in refugee camps now?
If you ask me Angie looks like a refugee her self she needs to gain some weight she looks like crap..
X-17.. you cut out her shoulder from the picture.. the shoulder that shows a new tattoo'd coordinate under the twins. Is another baby already adopted or are they Brads?
How Pathetic that these people would die for someone they don't even know...talk about uneducated....sad!
Jesus people, you who criticize her. With your comments you just show how poisoned your heart is. You are envious of Angelina's success. Do you really think you are good people? Just look at your soul.
me, My soul is clear and I KNOW I am a good person but I still find it sad that these people would be so excited to see Angie. She is no better then the UN in really helping these people. There are better groups that do more for the poor of the earth and to them I give my respect. No normal person is jealous of Ms Jolie. She has nothing I would want as I have the love and respect of my own family, friends and co-workers. How about you?
I don't know if this is really about the UN anymore. These visits seem slightly absurd IMO.
why is she going there? Right now she's pretty useless, Sorry but she won't change the world. Go back to your family and let the UN do their job.
E! says you guys are lying
Every pic of her on a "humanitarian" mission is the same!! Compare them people,,this is so staged, she controls EVERY pic, she is one of the most MANAGED celebs ever,,,everything is approved and controlled by HER!! Keep it real Angelina, first your job is to PROTECT YOUR OWN KIDS MOTHER, so she shouldnt be there PERIOD! She does nothing for the cause being there no matter how famous and she should do it not for the publicity but for the awareness not to published fake concerned face over and over,,,shes NO mother Theresa,,glad shes doing good in the world but seems totally self centered ...still.
oh shut up ^^
Same old sad expressions. How she loves the drama! LOL Now, back home to one of her mansions, filled with foods, drinks, nannies, and a special bath for her and Pitts love sessions. Oh, but she's so worthy, after such a hard days work!
This is appalling to me, her showing up to these camps does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for these people. The only one who benefits here is Angie and her tarnished public image.
yes, because you are an expert with UNHCR. OMG why didn't they send you since you are sooooo much better than Jolie? and for crying out loud why isn't brad pitt with you too?
why "her tarnished public image"!!!
This is what the feminist Camille Paglia said about Jolie just last week:
"So suddenly Angelina Jolie thinks she's a U.N. ambassador for all human misery in the world. Everything turns high concept, and soon she's collecting a multiracial menagerie of children. The result is a total flattening out of her artistic image....now there's something too calculated and manipulative about her public persona, so she's less interesting than she was... all these stars today, accumulating children with an army of nannies. Despite all her children, no one would ever call Angelina Jolie maternal."
Btw, I wonder what happens on the day when these riots spark a stampede and someone gets killed. Then what?
help the poor is a good work ... j'aime ce qu'elle a fait
help the poor is a good work ... j'aime ce qu'elle a fait
i wouldn't really call 10 years suddenly (roll eyes)...but if you say so...lol
she is so good .i love her .
ok
It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love, there is only an 'on' ramp. (( B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e_C_u_p_i_d. c_0_m )) Lots of my friends found their lovers through the se'rvice. You may have a try... ;)
