"People again are demonstrating in the streets to [PM] Ghannouchi 'out', Because this man was part of the system. He could not say he [did not know] about the corruption. All Tunisians knew about that," she said.

But not everybody was protesting.

In the capital Tunis, people returned to work and their everyday routines, although streets rapidly emptied by late afternoon, before the 6:00 pm curfew.

And more shops and outdoor markets were open, like this fruit and vegetable market on in the Tunis neighborhood of Bab el Khadra.

One elderly man at the market praised Prime Minister Ghannouchi as an honest man. Besides, he said, Tunisia's new interim government would be a temporary, to calm things. The next one, he predicted, would be brought in by the ballot box.
