Angelina Jolie caused quite a stir in Tunisia today in the course of her duties as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency, UNHCR.

During a visit to a refugee camp near the Tunisia/Libya border, the actress was reportedly greeted by Libyan refugees chanting, “Angelina Jolie, we want to die for you!”

“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,” reported an X17 photographer who witnessed the event.

All that excitement, unfortunately, caused uneasiness about the star’s security, and ultimately her humanitarian visit was cut short. As news spread of her imminent departure, however, the situation became even worse.

“When people found out Angelina was leaving early, they had mixed reaction. Some were upset but still enthusiastic to have her there,” the X17 photographer reported. “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.”

After that, the plans for the rest of her trip – which included a stop at a Moroccan hospital elsewhere in Tunisia – were scrapped and Jolie returned to the nation’s capital, Tunis. From there, she will return to Paris.

Jolie was on a mission to urge support for roughly 440,000 Libyans who have fled their homeland since violence began in February. Nearly half of those displaced people have found there way to Tunisia.

“The international community has done well to reinforce Tunisia’s remarkable relief effort,” said Jolie, in a statement issued by UNHCR. “But with 2,000 people still crossing each day, we cannot let the funding dry up and need to sustain the momentum.”

The actress has put her money where her mouth is with the effort. According to the UNHCR, The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has contributed to the evacuation effort by both paying for the cost to evacuate 177 refugees by air and purchasing an ambulance to help transport wounded Libyans from the border into Tunisia.

Not only did Jolie’s visit spark near riot, but a photo of the star has tongues wagging as well. It looks like there is another entry on the list of coordinates tattooed on her upper left arm. Does it herald a seventh addition to the Jolie-Pitt clan?
