Economic recovery, new plan in Tunisia

Very questioned for a week by hundreds of protesters calling for his departure to spread the force last Friday, the Tunisian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannuchi set the objectives of his new team: democratic transition and economic recovery. From Davos (Switzerland), Tunisian officials reiterated the message: investors and tourists are invited to return to Tunisia, as the economic situation is "under control".

Mustapha Kamel Nabli, Central Bank Governor, Yassine Brahim, Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation, and Sami Zaoui, Minister of Information Technology, said their presence at the World Economic Forum seeks to "convey the message." On the sensitive situation in the country, Mohammed Ghannuchi said that agreements on the interim government announced last Thursday were involved "all parties, whether political parties, civil society, political sensitivities or university." After violent clashes Friday in which hundreds of protestors Ghannuchi daily output and the chiefs of Ben Ali's regime were dispersed without contemplation, calm has returned to Tunisia.

In another event, various youth groups prevented the first march organized by women since the fall of President Ben Ali, to defend their rights and equality in a secular and democratic state. About a hundred women gathered carrying banners and shouting slogans for democracy and equality between men and women.

But the youngsters were forced to disperse because, they said, the Tunisian Constitution says that Tunisia is Islamic and undemocratic
