In pictures: Tunisia's lingering unrest
- Three days after President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali fled, Tunisia is still gripped by protests and unrest.
- The day began with more clashes between protesters and police, who once again used tear gas to restore order.
- Worries about the economy grew, with Tunisians queuing to buy basic food, and officials tried to persuade people to go back to work.
- By the end of the day, Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi had announced a new unity government.
- Politicians will be hoping the new administration will calm the tension, but many of its senior members are from the old regime.
- Protesters continued to demand that Mr Ben Ali face justice, and said no-one who served with him should be included in the new administration.
- Meanwhile, government workers continued to remove the once-ubiquitous portraits of the former president.
