Anti-government protests in Tunis

Unrest in Tunisia

“It has been very unnerving”, says Francis, a resident of Tunis

New protests have broken out on the streets of Tunisia’s capital, Tunis, hours before the expected announcement of a new national unity government.

Police used water cannon to disperse several hundred demonstrators calling for the party of ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali to relinquish power.

The country has been in a state of emergency since he fled on Friday.

Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi has said an agreement between the political parties would be unveiled later.

Monday’s protesters shouted slogans against Mr Ben Ali’s Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD), says the BBC’s Lyse Doucet in Tunis, as they made it clear they wanted the ruling party to have no place in the new government.

The atmosphere was mixed with the sound of gunfire ringing out during occasional skirmishes interspersed with scenes of celebration and a rendition of the national anthem.

Mr Ghannouchi – who was also prime minister during Mr Ben Ali’s rule – has pledged rapid action to fill the power vacuum, after being asked to form a government by interim President Foued Mebazaa, the former speaker of the parliament.

Sources close to the negotiations with opposition parties are quoted as saying some portfolios have already been agreed.

After a night of fighting between troops and gunmen loyal to Mr Ben Ali, tanks were patrolling in the capital and other cities in an attempt to restore order on Monday.

Days of violence have cut off supplies to shops and petrol stations, causing shortages. Correspondents say many people just want life to get back to normal and are keen for details of the unity government to be announced.

Mr Ben Ali, who had been in power for 23 years, fled to Saudi Arabia on Friday after a month of mounting protests across the country over unemployment, food price rises and corruption.

Demonstrations gained momentum in December after a 26-year-old unemployed man, Mohamed Bouazizi, died having set himself on fire in protest against a lack of jobs in the country.

Amid concerns the protests may spread across the region, a man set himself on fire outside the Egyptian parliament buildings in Cairo on Monday. His motivation was not immediately clear.

There have also been several such incidents in Algeria which, like Egypt and Tunisia, has high unemployment and has been facing political unrest.

Hundreds of mourners are expected later at the funeral of Michaela McAreavey, who was murdered on her honeymoon.

Mrs McAreavey, 27, daughter of Tyrone Gaelic football boss Mickey Harte, was found strangled in her hotel room in Mauritius a week ago.

The funeral will be held at St Malachy’s in Ballymacilroy, County Tyrone, the church in which she married John McAreavey on 30 December.

Irish president Mary McAleese and other dignitaries are to attend.

A marquee for 300 people has been erected in the church grounds to cope with some of the overspill from the 400-capacity chapel. Many more people are expected to watch from surrounding areas.

Three men, all staff at the hotel, have been charged in connection with the killing, thought to have happened as Mrs McAreavey disturbed a burglary in her room.

Room attendant Avinash Treebhoowoon, 29, and floor supervisor Sandip Moneea, 41, have been charged with murder, and room attendant Raj Theekoy, 33, with conspiracy to murder.

Mourners at the funeral are expected to include senior Gaelic Athletic Association officials, including president Christy Cooney and Ulster secretary Danny Murphy, president of the Ulster rugby branch Nigel Hamilton and Irish Football Association president Jim Shaw.

Players from Mr Harte’s Tyrone team and his home club Errigal Ciaran will form a guard of honour as Mrs McAreavey’s coffin is taken from her parents’ home.

Pupils from the late Irish teacher’s form class in St Patrick’s Academy, Dungannon, and players from Mr McAreavey’s Tullylish GAA club in County Down are to accompany the coffin into the church.

The service will be led by Mr McAreavey’s uncle, Bishop John McAreavey, who married the couple.

Primate of the Catholic Church in Ireland Sean Brady will also take part in the service.

Over the weekend, hundreds of mourners paid their respects at the Harte family home in the village of Ballygawley, County Tyrone.
