Less so elsewhere
Hi, I found this phrase when I read an article but can't understand what it means. Is there something grammatically omitted in this phrase? Please let me know 
If it is still unclear what will replace them in Tunisia, how much the less so elsewhere.
If it is still unclear what will replace them in Tunisia, how much the less so elsewhere.
