A demonstrator holds a placard during a rally in front of the Interior Ministry in Tunis on Jan. 14, to demand President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's resignation. Ben Ali stepped down Jan. 14 after 23 years in power and fled the North African state as the authorities declared a state of emergency following deadly protests. Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi announced on state television that he had taken over as interim president, after a day of violent clashes between rock-throwing protesters and riot police in the streets of central Tunis.
