Tunisia replaces regional governors

Interim government continues efforts to dismantle Ben Ali's legacy while struggling to restore order and stability. While 'Finally Freedom' grafitti cover Tunis, how the government will restore stability remains to be seen [Reuters] Tunisia has replaced all 24 regional governors as part of  the efforts to dismantle the legacy of the ousted president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, according to official sources. The country's state news agency reported on Thursday that the interior ministry replaced several senior security officials this week, a first step to overhauling the network of police, security forces and spies built up by Ben Ali during 23 years of police rule. The move is unlikely to satisfy those who want al-Nahda (Renaissance), an Islamist party banned under Ben Ali, to be reinstated as part of the power structure.
