| 2011-10-24 |
 TUNIS - Tunisia's leading secularist party conceded defeat on Monday after unofficial tallies from an election at the weekend showed a victory for an Islamist party."The PDP (Progressive Democratic Party) respects the democratic game. The people gave their trust to those it considers worthy of that trust. We congratulate the winner and we will be in the ranks of the opposition," a PDP statement sent to Rooters said. |

| #1 Can anyone remember when Tunisia was the secular, "advanced" Arab state? Can anyone remember 6 months ago? One more left to go (Morocco) and the southern Med will be a wall of Irans and Saudis. Then Obama will have a country to bow and scrape to each day of the week. Who would have thought civil war among Islamic factions is the optimistic scenario? |
