At a news conference in Tunis, Tunisian interim Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi announced that he was resigning at the demand of protesters. The announcement came after a long speech defending his government record. Mr. Ghannouchi had served under the former President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali whose was toppled in last months uprising. The protesters called for his resignations in anti-government protests on Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately, three people were killed on Saturday. Tunisia's government is working on reform and is planning elections in July, this was clearly not fast enough for the people.
