1749: Mr Ghannouchi vowed to respect the constitution and restore stability. It is unclear whether Mr Ben Ali has left the country, but al-Arabiya reports that he is flying to Malta under Libyan protection.
1745: President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali has stepped down. Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi has taken over as interim president.
Supposedly the army is in control. Honestly I expected this for about a while. The army seems to be relatively respected as tunisian institutions go. i hope everything works out....
