The Tunisians have shown that not be fooled by promises, who yearn for a democratic transition and they want it without delay. After four weeks of popular revolt, which culminated on Friday, without assistance, with the overthrow of the tyrant Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, is likely to have been started that way, which undoubtedly will be tortuous.If successful it would be a historical novelty in the Arab world. 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.
Interim President Mohamed Ghanuchi, was forced to resign Tuesday by the Constitutional Council after 16 hours post exercise. He relieved the head of Parliament Fuad Mebaza, required by law to call elections within 60 days. 60 days will be full of dangers, because confusion prevails in Tunisia and anarchy spread throughout the territory, despite the current state of emergency and curfew, which ranges from five in the afternoon until seven o'clock .
Helicopters flying over the capital, the tanks are stationed in many corners, often heard gunshots every night. In one incident, the same night have been known to Imed Trabelsi, nephew of the wife of Ben Ali and mayor of the coastal town of La Goulette, died yesterday at the military hospital in Tunis after reaching stab wound.
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.
In other unrest, dozens of prisoners were killed in riots caused in several different Tunisian prisons. In the prison of the coastal city of Monastir, in the east, 42 prisoners died in a fire caused by held that tried to cash in on the anarchy. Quarantine died burned or asphyxiated. Dozens killed in Mahdia, also in the east, to be shot by police while trying to escape from local criminal, according to several witnesses reported.
Furthermore, in the prisons of the region of Gafsa and Kaserín (center-west) and those of Bizerta and Mornaguia (north) have been riots and fires. In Mesadín, scores of women were injured in clashes with gunfire at the entrance of the prison, where many relatives had come after a false rumor spread on the release of detainees.
Meanwhile, in the streets of Tunis and in its suburbs, many vehicles were registered by the security forces. For those who wear blue plate no exception. All were arrested, and police took pains further. Cars with blue plates belong to rental companies. And these days were used by supporters of the regime to demonstrate or to commit outrages.
Apart from constitutional relay chaos in the streets, institutions seem to work. The former prime minister, Mohamed Ghanuchi, emerged as acting president on Friday afternoon declared temporarily incapacitated after Ben Ali. However, the Constitutional Council, the highest legal authority in interpreting the Basic Law, enacted before noon that the presidency was vacant, and not temporary and that it was necessary to apply another article of the Constitution which brought to power the leader of Parliament .
Ghanuchi, a leader who, despite her affiliation with the Democratic Constitutional Assembly, the party of Ben Ali, is not among those suspected of having amassed wealth on the basis of power-is considered a technocrat with encyclopedic knowledge of the Tunisian economy, "it was Mebaza appointed shortly afterwards, again, chief executive.
"I have asked the prime minister to form a national unity government," said Mebaza. Without excluding anyone. Nothing is clear. For those who are firmly opposed to Ben Ali does not seem to 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. "To open a new phase, there must be a break with the foundations of the regime and the corrupt political system," said Ahmed Ibrahim, head of Ettajdid, one of three groups legalized.
Benjaafar Mustafa, head of the Democratic Forum for Labour and Liberties, more moderate, he added: "We discussed the idea of a coalition government and the prime minister has accepted." Other formations differ radically. "We do not accept that the time limit of 60 days because there is a revolution in Tunis that the party wants to transform into a coup to stay in power," he told Paris Iyad Dahmani, leader of the Democratic Progressive Party.
You begin to harness the political chaos, but nobody has all along. The country is shocked by the excesses of a police force trying to beat detainees at the sight of anyone, and the plunder of the poor who emptied supermarkets. The Tunisians abhor disorder, which has caused dozens of deaths since the Dec.
17 burst the civil uprising which must be endured. There is an obvious risk. Security can not collapse to the democratic process can be born. To spread and endure the chaos, especially if institutions affect any project would be unviable. The Army, a opaque institution but seems to act with utmost responsibility, seems unwilling to let that happen.
But what about the police? "Slowing the thousands of loyal minions to Ben Ali to which attributes much of the civilian deaths and attempts to destabilize Tunisia now? What about the myriad of powerful companies dominated by the corrupt elite that has put their heels? Does collapse of tourism, source of income and jobs? What are the goals of Islamists? Will participate in this emerging process? Will they allow no more who enjoyed privileges to investigate and punish corruption? Nobody has the answers.
