Supporters of Tunisia's President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali demonstrate
in Tunis, Thursday, Jan. 13, 2011. Tunisia's autocratic president,
facing deadly riots that have rocked his nation, ordered prices on
food staples slashed and suggested he will leave the presidency,
but not until 2014. President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, in a televised
speech Thursday night, also pledged to end Internet censorship and
to open up the political playing field in a country where he has
allowed little public criticism for the past 23 years.
