Despite Tunians celebrating the predident's speech last night and the new reforms,including freedom of speech and on
constraints no accessing the Internet there were many hundreds of people demonstrating for the president to resign.Unfortunately the peaceful demonstration was ruined by a group of people seeking revenge for the death of a young protestor yesterday.
All hell broke loose!Suddenly there were running battles with the police and groups of 'secret police'with teargas being set off!
On the way back to the station the police were still
dealing with protestors,the air was thick with the stench of the tear gas
it stung my eyes and my throat!
Unfortunately it wasn't easy to get back to La Marsa,the train station had been closed but I managed to share a taxi with a man who lives in Gammarth,in the morning he had been on Radio Cultural talking about the situation.
The government has been dismissed but the president remains!
There is now a curfew from 17.00 though some people have said it's 24 hours.
