Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTunisia presents its new coalition government, dominated by the secular Nidaa Tounes party but also including its Islamist rivals, as it prepares to tackle security problems and a faltering economy.
Prime Minister Habib Essid announced the make-up of his cabinet, which had initially been abandoned after the moderate Islamist Ennahda party warned it would vote against a line-up that excluded its members.
“We have made changes… to widen the composition of the government with the participation of other political parties,” Essid said.
