| 2011-01-31 |
| [Maghrebia] Hundreds of women rallied in downtown Tunis on Saturday (January 29th) to defend their rights and reject a possible Islamist resurgence, AFP reported. The march was organised in response to the return of Islamist Ennahda movement leader Rached Ghannouchi from exile on Sunday. "We want to send an important message to the Islamists, especially those from the Ennahda movement -- that we are not ready to pull back on or abandon our rights," Sabah Mahmoudi, a university lecturer was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... newly appointed Central Bank governor Mustapha Kamel Nabli, told news hounds at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that the security situation was almost back to normal in Tunisia, urging investors to return to the country. Nabli declared that the country's economy would be strengthened by transparent, democratic rule. The Tunisia delegation to Davos also included just-appointed Transport Minister Yacine Brahim and Communication Minister Sami Zaoui. |
