Significance
The administration also deployed more police to tourist resorts and promised to close Salafi mosques and to curb some religious associations. At least one religious political party may be closed, but there are concerns about a return to authoritarian policies.
Impacts
There will be damage to the wider economy, well beyond the already troubled tourism sector.
The government will try to limit radicalisation with authoritarian-style policies, but this is unlikely to work in the short term.
Popular mistrust of the government, already significant, will grow.
