| 2013-08-08 |
| [Al Ahram] Tunisia's ruling Islamist Ennahda party said Wednesday it accepted the suspension of the North African country's National Constituent Assembly and urged talks with its rivals on a national unity government. "Despite our formal and legal reservations about this initiative, we hope it will serve as a catalyst for political adversaries to sit down at the negotiating table," a party statement said. Ennahda said it hoped the assembly's suspension would lead to "the formation of a government of national unity". |
