Tunisian Foreign Minister quits amid protest
Tunisia’s foreign minister announced his resignation today, state media reported, as authorities sought to quell unrest by street protesters who want to oust other allies of deposed former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
The TAP news agency announcement about Foreign Minister Kamel Morjane came as the Prime Minister was expected to reveal the make-up of Tunisia’s second interim government since Mr Ben Ali fled the North African country on January 14 after weeks of protests.
