Hague calls for change in Tunisia

Foreign Secretary William Hague used a visit to Tunisia to declare that change in the country where protests sparked flare-ups across the region must be “swift, comprehensive and irreversible”.

He made his comments after talks with interim Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi and International Co-operation Minister Mohammed Jouini.

The Foreign Secretary is on the first leg of a three-day visit to the region at a time of continuing street demonstrations challenging established leaders.
