Ennahda is not the answer to Tunisia’s political crisis
The United States should be wary of partnering with a repressive Islamist party and use its handling of the Mohamed Morsi ousting as a lesson.
Tunisia’s president ousted top government officials and suspended parliament on July 26, igniting the country’s most significant political crisis in over a decade. President Kais Saied, using military escorts, fired the prime minister along with the country’s defense and justice ministers. The president also enacted curfews and prohibited gatherings of more than three people. While Saied defends these moves as critical for Tunisia’s preservation, the Islamist Ennahda party—the most prominent movement in the suspended parliament—decries them a coup.
