| 2013-03-08 |
| [MAGHAREBIA] Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki on Wednesday (March 6th) voiced his determination to confront the problem of salafist hardliners, AFP reported. "I want to continue talks with the traditionalist and reformist currents" of the salafist movement, Marzouki told El Khabar in an interview. "As for the armed current, we will fight it, [but] within the bounds of the law," he said. In other security news, Tunisian Defence Minister Abdelkarim Zbidi announced on Tuesday that he had rejected a request from Prime Minister-designate Ali Larayedh to stay in his post. "I cannot go on, as there is no clear roadmap for holding fresh elections in the best possible conditions and as quickly as possible," Zbidi told Nessma TV. |
