In Tunisia, another member resigned from the transitional government

Tunisian Minister of International Cooperation Mohamed Nouri Yuini, submitted his resignation, government sources confirmed. Yuini is the second member of the Tunisian government resigns after transition do so before the Minister of Industry, Aziz Chlabi. The sources are not expected to produce more resignations in the remainder of the day.

Both Chlabi Yuini as belonging to the Democratic Constitutional Rally (RCD) party of ousted Tunisian President Ben Ali Zine El Abdiín. For their part, local political sources said it is expected that tomorrow, Tuesday, or maybe on Wednesday, the Tunisian prime minister, Said Beyi Essebsi, announce the formation of new government, as well as other measures to encourage the process of transition Tunisia began after the fall of Ben Ali, on 14 January.

However, Essebsi, who replaced as head of government to Ghanuchi Mohamed, who resigned last Sunday after two days of heavy fighting in the capital between police and groups of protesters, killing five people, according to official data (six, according with the opposition) has not been well received by social and political opposition.

In fact, the country's main union, the General Union of Tunisian Workers (UGTT) has already said it does not recognize Essebsi as chief executive. Essebsi is a political veteran of 85 years who have historically been connected to the circles of power in Tunisia, served as the portfolio of Foreign Affairs during the tenure of the father of independent Tunisia, Habib Bourguiba.

Both UGTT, like other social and political forces of the Tunisian opposition believe that the appointment of Essebsi has undertaken unilaterally acting president of Tunisia, Fouad Mebaza, which has aroused the suspicion of such formations, which want to tell them to appoint the head of government.
