Some 500 demonstrators waved the Tunisian flag from the stairs of the Belgian stock exchange and sang the national anthem Saturday to celebrate the events in their homeland.
One banner read “Ben Ali is gone. The Tunisian people have won.” Another read “Ben Ali has to pay for his crimes.” Ben Ali fled Tunisia on Friday for Saudi Arabia following a popular uprising against corruption and rising unemployment under his regime.
