New reshuffle in Tunisia. Politically unstable since the revolution that ousted AbidineBen Zine El-Ali, the country struggles to form a durable government. On 27 February, a new Prime Minister Beji Caid Essebsi, 84, had replaced Mohamed Ghannouchi, compromised by its closeness to Mr. Ben Ali. Monday, March 7, he has made a change in its provisional government.
Composed of technicians, the new transitional government is the third since the fall of Ben Ali. Among those who resigned included two government ministers who had been part of the last government Ben Ali Mohamed Nouri Jouini (Planning and International Cooperation) and Mohamed Afif Chelbi (industry and technology), and two opposition representatives: Ahmed Ibrahim (Higher Education and Scientific Research) and Ahmed Najib Chebbi (regional and local development).
The government announced the dissolution of the political police. In a statement, the ministry said "the final break with any form of organization akin to the political police both in terms of structure, missions or practices." The government will also remove the security directorate of the State, saying "the ministry's commitment to enforce the law and to respect the freedoms and civil rights." These measures "are fully in line with the new approach to the powers of the Ministry of Interior and the will to continue the work already begun to contribute to the achievement of the attributes of democracy, dignity and of freedom, "concluded the official text.
