Protests Against Tunisian Govt Tuesday Aug 6,2013

Tens of thousands of Tunisians crowded the streets of downtown Tunis on Tuesday to demand the transitional government's ouster


The secular opposition, angered by two assassinations in its ranks and emboldened by the army-backed toppling of Egypt's Islamist president, is trying to topple Tunisia's government led by the moderate Islamist party Ennahda


It also wants to dissolve the Constituent Assembly, which is weeks away from finishing a draft constitution and election law


The powerful Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT) called on its 600,000 members to join the rally
