"(Reuters) -
Veteran politician Beji Caid Essebsi has won Tunisia's first free
presidential election, official results showed on Monday, the final
step in a transition to democracy after an uprising that ousted autocrat
Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.
But rioting broke out
in one southern city, with police firing teargas to disperse hundreds of
youths who burned tyres and blocked streets to demonstrate against the
victory of an official from Ben Ali's old guard.
Essebsi beat rival and incumbent Moncef Marzouki with 55.68 percent of the vote against 44.32 percent, the results showed."
A successful democratic election is a good sign for the country where the Arab Spring started. I hope this turns out well for all.
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
