2. No, Tunisia was the very first to go. The problem here is that the new guy was a bad guy

He was just Tunisia's Ben Ali's second in command.

Since Ben Ali was ousted last month, there was no basic change in policies being put in place, just window dressings. The guy, Ghannouchi, said wait till July and then you little Tunisian's can have an election to try and get me out. Meanwhile he has been talking to the banksters of the world trying to get loans so that new money could flow into his pockets while leaving Tunisia in debt.

So Tunisian's went to the streets again and have been protesting for the past several weeks. Three people died in protests yesterday.

Ghannouchi finally resigned today.

Hopefully the next guy takes the hint and works for the people.
