"You can bend it and twist it. You can misuse and abuse it. But even God cannot change the truth."


"TĂșnez" and "Ben Ali" are both trending topics on Twitter. "Unrest in Tunisia" is under the Spotlight Videos on Youtube. The truth is finally getting out.


Tunisian protests were spread to Tunis, the capital, and the government decreed a nighttime curfew. Four people had reportedly been killed there on Wednesday, not counting the over 30 deaths that have occurred in the past few days. Ben Ali has however been driven from power on Friday with Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi taking over all responsibilities for the time being. The people can make a difference.
