Protests hit Sidi Bouzid after historic Tunisia poll

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15488077

"Violent protests have erupted in central Tunisia, after the results of the country's first democratic elections in decades were announced.

Police used tear gas against hundreds of people in Sidi Bouzid who were protesting against the cancellation of seats won by one of the parties.............."

Now, not being and expert in the political workings of Tunisia, on the surface it doesn't look too bad. A few seats canceled, a few protesters and some property destroyed.

But - what can be done to a few can be done to a few more.

We shall see.
