Today’s story in The Guardian suggests that Tunisia’s protesters are toning down their demonstrations after winning some, if not most, of their demands. Can a revolution end quite this well?
The story says that a local TV station has reported that 33 members of the deposed president’s family have been arrested for crimes against the state, which probably means for enriching themselves by dipping illegally into the state treasury.
I’m curious about the TV station and hope we can trace this news. Seems likely that this is rather new territory for local TV; I’d like to know how the journalists are adapting.
Meanwhile, here is a worthy related story on Egypt from the same newspaper.
