Tunisians drive leader from power in mass uprising

After 23 years of iron-fisted rule, the president of Tunisia was driven from power Friday by violent protests over soaring unemployment and corruption. Virtually unprecedented in modern Arab history, the populist uprising sent an ominous message to authoritarian governments that dominate the region. The country was under the caretaker leadership of the prime minister who took control, the role of the army in the transition was unknown, and it was uncertain whether Ben Ali's departure would be enough to restore peace. The government said at least 23 people have been killed in the riots, but opposition members put the death toll at more than three times that.
This u[rising might be one of many to come. In recent years we've seen problems in that area and I believe that they recognize that politically something isn't right.
