Tunisian police have used tear gas and batons to break up protests demanding the resignation of the government in the most violent confrontation for weeks with pro-democracy demonstrators.
A demonstration in central Tunis by about 200 people on Friday called for the resignation of the transitional government and "a new revolution".
The demonstrators, yelling slogans such as "Get out!" and "The government still works for [ousted president Zine El Abidine] Ben Ali", faced off for 20 minutes against a police cordon on the central Habib Bourguiba Avenue.
The police then charged, firing tear gas canisters and causing panic among demonstrators, mainly youths, and pedestrians who were in the neighbourhood and tried to flee for shelter.

Anyone else think we should just annex the countries we help? Countries like Libya and Tunisia are clearly incapable of creating a stable country with no corruption. This isnt the first time we have helped rebels take over a country, only for them to turn on us or for reports of atrocities committed by the government to come in?
The cycle goes
Dictator fights rebels
Rebels beat dictator or Dictator beats rebels
Rebels win-New government created but turns into a dictatorship and starts to mistreat its civilians.New Rebels are created.
Same thing again
