US supported and IMF/World Bank darling President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has fled Tunisia and the country is apparently now being headed by the Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi (if not the military) who is not seen as a member of the Ben Alo clique and regarded fairly well by most Tunisians. Ben Ali is supposed to have gone to France but I have heard he has gone to Malta under protection of Lybia and I have also heard he has gone to Saudi Arabia and that the Saudi Officials have acknowledged this. There is still rioting and a military presence on the street in Tunisia. It will be interesting to see how things play out from here.
