A soldier stands with flowers in the barrel of his gun in front of the headquarters of the Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD) party of ousted president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali during a demonstration in downtown Tunis, January 20, 2011. Tunisian police fired shots into the air on Thursday to try to disperse hundreds of protesters demanding that ministers associated with the rule of ousted president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali leave the government. The protesters, who had gathered outside the central Tunis headquarters of the RCD, Tunisia's ruling party for several decades, refused to move back when the police fired shots from behind a metal fence.
