Tunis–Hundreds of people are marching through Tunisia's capital, a day after the nation's president read out a list of promises and concessions try to stop deadly riots.
The protesters are carrying a poster reading "We won't forget," a reference to the deaths. The peaceful march came as Tunisia's only legal trade union went ahead Friday with a symbolic two-hour strike in the region of the capital.
Nearly a month of riots over unemployment and other social ills have killed at least 23 people. The opposition says the figure is dozens more than that.
On Thursday autocratic President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali ordered prices on food staples slashed. He also made pledges for political and media freedom and said he will leave the presidency when his term ends in 2014.
