http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/14/world/africa/14tunisia.html?_r=1HAMMAMET, Tunisia — The police on Thursday all but abandoned this exclusive Mediterranean beach town — haven to the capital’s rich and powerful — as rioters calling for the ouster of Tunisia’s authoritarian president swarmed the streets, torched bank offices and ransacked a mansion belonging to one of his relatives.
It looks like the oppressive and brutal regime of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali is finally getting what it deserves. And unlike in other countries that seemed primed for revolution, the protesters actually seem to be winning.
