Tunisia is suffering from major economic and social problems and dissatisfaction with its government has grown.

And the population is tired of the unstable, political situation, no matter what political direction they come from.

That is the opinion of Fanny Härgestam in Morgonstudion.

- I also interpret these protests as a very general protest against the political establishment, but more specifically against the government with slogans and demands for the government's fall, she says.

After strong protests, the president has now ousted the prime minister and closed parliament for 30 days.

During the night, military vehicles surrounded the parliament building, while people cheered and sang the national anthem, witnesses say.
