<p>Tunisia&#8217;s new interim government has held its first Cabinet meeting, nearly a week after the fall of President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.</p>
<p>Government spokesman Tayyib Al Bakouchi said the multi-party administration had pledged to make security its top priority, to prepare for new presidential elections and speed up political reforms.</p>
<p>It promised to bring back any resources spirited out of the country and to remove security forces stationed at universities.</p>
<p>It also held a moment of silence for the dozens killed in nearly a month of unrest leading up to Mr Ben Ali&#8217;s departure last Friday and declared three days of national mourning.</p>
<p>Earlier, the Tunisian army fired warning shots as demonstrators marched toward the ruling party&#8217;s headquarters in the capital Tunis.</p>
<p>Demonstrators have criticised the country&#8217;s new unity government for being mostly made up of old guard politicians from the ruling party.</p>
<p>They are seeking the disbanding of the RCD party, founded by Mr Ben Ali, who fled to Saudi Arabia on Friday after 23 years in power.</p>
<p>Prime minister Mohamed Ghannouchi and interim president Fouad Mebazaa quit the RCD earlier in the week.</p>
<p>Outside the gates of the party headquarters in Tunis, the army fired about 10 rounds into the air, scattering some protesters in the noisy but peaceful crowd. Others remained, chanting, &#8220;Down with the RCD!&#8221;</p>
<p>The warning shots came after a period of relative calm in Tunisia, which has been rattled by more than a month of unrest over the lack of jobs and alleged corruption in Ben Ali&#8217;s regime. Police even let protesters break a curfew to hold a sit-in near the Interior Ministry.</p>
