Tunisia: Opposition Launches New Protest Movement Inspired By Egypt
July 3, 2013 | 1803 GMT
Tunisian opposition activists on July 3 launched a new protest movement inspired by Egypt’s Tamarod, or “rebel,” movement, which organized the ongoing mass protests in Egypt, Reuters reported. Similar to their Egyptian counterparts, the Tunisian Tamarod leaders accuse the ruling Ennahda party of attempting to usher in a religious state that smother personal freedoms while failing to solve the country’s economic issues. The activists say they plan to call for mass protests and claim to have gathered some 200,000 signatures from Tunisians opposed to the government. Tunisia is plagued by divisions, which are partially geographically determined.
