The revolution seems to be robbed officially. The death toll in the last two days reached 4. 2 of them have died inside one of the prisons as a result of torture. The other two were killed in clashes with policemen in other cities.
As long as the regime is not changed 100%, there will be no development there.

Tunisia asks Saudi Arabia to extradite Ben Ali
TUNIS (AFP) – Tunisia said Sunday it had officially asked Saudi Arabia to extradite deposed strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali whom it accused of "several serious crimes".
A foreign ministry statement cited by the state news agency TAP said an official request had been sent through diplomatic channels for the extradition of the ousted president, who fled to Saudi Arabia January 14 after weeks of popular revolt against his 23-year regime.
The statement said the caretaker government took the action "following a new batch of charges against the ousted president regarding his involvement in several serious crimes aimed at perpetrating and inciting voluntary homicide and sowing discord between the citizens of the same country by pushing them to kill one another".

Today, hundreds of journalists and technicians from the state-run TV broadcaster have gone on strike over what they say is continued government censorship of their dispatches, Reuters reports.
The industrial action has halted state TV news bulletins. One striker said: "We are on strike demanding an end to all the pressure and to stop the censorship, and to allow us to work freely ... We will not accept restrictions any more."

Security forces in the Tunisian capital have fired tear gas into crowds of protesters outside the interior ministry.
The demonstration comes a day after police cleared protesters from the streets demanding the resignation of the interim prime minister, Mohammed Ghannouchi.
Although Ghannouchi has introduced some reforms, protesters remain angry that figures from the authoritarian government of ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali remain in place. Ghannouchi, who had served under Ben Ali, has promised elections by mid-July.
Reuters reports that the youths targeted in Saturday's protest were loyalists of Ben Ali. "These are Ben Ali's thugs," a police officer told the news agency.
Crime rates have soared since the Jasmine Revolution with security officials claiming the deposed president's supporters are trying to destabilise the country, Reuters added.

Haha! Saw that. Man some of those rulers were delusional. "shnewa 3amaltlo ana el share3" 
I can't believe he's actually asking that question.
Its too bad Tunisia has gone from worse to worse after that. For me, Tunisia was always the barometer of success for the Arab Spring, out of all Arab countries, they are the ones with the most "democratic" culture. If it didn't work there, there's no hope for the rest of us. 11 years later, unfortunately theres no hope for the rest of us
