The security chief Ben Ali, charged with fomenting violence

Despite the doubts and uncertainties about the process, the steps toward the transition in Tunisia and to the purification of responsibilities of the deposed regime of Ben Ali will happen. Responsible for the security of the president ousted president, Ali Seriati, will be judged by fomenting violence and threatening national security, according to the Tunisian public television.

The former security official is accused of creating divisions among the people, having fostered the chaos and unrest and armed violence have encouraged among the people. About Seriati weighs a search and arrest warrant and is in hiding. After four weeks of popular revolt, which culminated on Friday, without assistance, with the overthrow of the tyrant Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, yesterday began a path of transition with major decisions of the Constitutional Council as the interim president's name-the first Mohamed Ghanuchi minister was forced to resign after 16 hours post exercise, and call for elections within 60 days.

Today, expect a second step, not least the announcement of the formation of a national unity government to end the power vacuum, put a stop to the violence and lead the country to these critical elections after 23 years of dictatorship. The army won a shabby presence hungry loot a shop, not on fire.

A young university student who has gone peacefully to the streets to demonstrate against the economic situation against the dictator first and then do not step on a stolen ambulance to attack their neighbors at home posing as police. A young woman who aspires to live in a democratic country is not taken on a car to shoot anyone who crosses his path.

More and more evidence to suggest that behind the looting and arson in banks, shops, stations, prisons and transport of Tunisia uploaded into the maelstrom of change is not the population, desperate lack of resources and the future, but organized militia of the former regime to sow chaos and destabilize the country.

The authorities' argument is that the followers of Zine el Abidine Ben Ali had become part of the 160,000 police officers who lived by the dictatorship and who see that they are losing everything. The night was quieter. Gradually, the army, which stayed out of the protests and is now taking the helm to ensure the security of the country is making to curb the violence and stop the riots.

In a first ride this morning through the streets of the capital, some shops are seen cleansed by the bank robbery and burned, but less than yesterday. In inverse proportion, have increased plainclothes officers and soldiers who are stationed on almost every corner. The military controlled and recorded all bags and cars that get within range.

For cars registered carrying blue-owned-rental companies are no exception. All were arrested, and police strives further. Rental cars these days were used by supporters of the regime to demonstrate or to commit outrages. The big question is what is happening in the rest of the country, which news comes with a dropper and the little that is known is that the army can not cope and its presence is residual in many villages and towns.

These are, therefore, places more suited to continue lighting the fuse of the instability. Fled south Insecurity has convinced many in the capital that it is best to flee. To protect their families by rioting and looting, thousands of people of Tunisia are fleeing to the south, where there is a smaller military presence.

In this state of confusion, one of the most notable incident is the death of Imed Trabelsi, nephew of the wife of Ben Ali and mayor of the coastal town of La Goulette, who died yesterday at the military hospital in Tunis after reaching gun wounded white. Imed, who was missing since the president's flight was part of that group of relatives of the first lady who controlled the country's economy, always associated with the regime's corruption and object of the wrath of protesters.

A French judge had opened an investigation against Imed Trabelsi for his alleged involvement in the theft of a yacht that belonged to Roger Bruno, manager of the Lazard Bank. This morning has killed one of the first foreign news which is also the first journalist. Lucas is Mebrouk Dolega, 32, wounded by a tear gas grenade during protests on Friday.

Ghanuchi unity government, a leader who, despite her affiliation with the Democratic Constitutional Assembly, the party of Ben Ali, is not among those suspected of having amassed fortunes under power, began yesterday to make contacts to form a unity government national. "Without excluding anyone," he promised in his first public statement new interim president, Fuad Mebaza.

One of the three legal political forces in Tunisia and the only parties with parliamentary representation, only two members, announced his willingness to be part of this government. For now, no major developments in this chapter, except that continue the contacts and meetings and maintaining the expectation that the country has new manager today.

But both Ghanuchi-considered a technocrat with encyclopedic knowledge of the Tunisian economy, as the head of the Parliament so far Mebaza regime are men who distrust the people. But in a country ruled with an iron fist for 53 years, no organized opposition, no convincing leadership, plagued by unemployment, subject to political upheaval and institutional violence battered now, no guarantee of anything.

One of the unknowns to be clear is whether those who are firmly opposed to Ben Ali can agree on a common project. Some opposition parties legalized or not, and many of the protesters have managed to overthrow the tyranny do not hide their suspicions about the political events which are linked with unprecedented speed.

But also to be seen whether these parties are able to agree on a common agenda to reform the electoral laws and enact laws that guarantee freedoms.
