After the promise of President Zine Abidine Ben Ali Eal not reapply more, the protests that have shaken this week in Tunisia have achieved another important result. Ben Ali has announced the decision of wanting to overthrow the government and called early elections. Announcing the decision was the Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi, who added that he had received the task of forming a new government directly from the President Ben Ali.The citizens of the North African country will be asked to vote in six months. We'll see if the demands of the opposition leader Mohammed Nejib Chebbi, a number of Democratic Progressive Party, which had called for a government of national unity "against the risk of a bloodbath" will be accepted.
Meanwhile it has also resigned from the Tunisian ambassador to UNESCO, Mezri Haddad. The decision has matured to protest against the repression that Ben Ali has put in place against the protesters who have flocked in recent days the streets of the country. In his resignation letter, Haddad said he could no longer "bear" to see people killed by the police.
According to the diplomat from the Maghreb, the protests of the last week would not be directed against the figure of the president, on the contrary against the oligarchs of which would be held hostage, "a lobby that has relentlessly plundered the riches of Tunisia". These important changes have however not stopped the protest.
Even today, over 100 thousand people took to the streets of the capital Tunis and other cities. Despite the order issued by the Tunisian leader to the police not to fire on the crowd, even today we are unditi shooting near the Interior Ministry in the capital, where a parade is in progress.
According to hospital sources, the death toll of the protests of last night is 12 people.
