Ben ali's departure a welcome development - ntuane

Ben Ali was forced from power by street protests. The interim deputy chairperson of the BMD, Botsalo Ntuane, says that was a welcome development worth celebrating.

"Every dictator who runs a military police state must be celebrated when he falls," Ntuane says. "We are looking forward to similar changes in Ivory Coast and Zimbabwe." Ntuane, who is also the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and MP for Gaborone West South, says the people of Tunisia will have an opportunity to usher in a liberal dispensation and that people will always triumph over dictatorship.
