Dans le sillage de la Révolution, Ennahdha est devenu l’acteur le plus important de la transition démocratique. Mais aujourd’hui, le choc est rude. Face au brutal revirement autoritaire, le parti est confronté à la crise la plus grave qu’il ait connue depuis des décennies.
Between authoritarian crack-down and internal crisis, can Ennahda rise again?
In the months after the 2011 Tunisian uprising, the Islamist party Ennahda emerged from the shadows of repression to win a comfortable victory in the first free elections, dominating in urban Tunis almost as much as it did in rural Tataouine.

Le 16 juillet, la Commission européenne a signé un « Mémorandum d’accord » avec la Tunisie, accordant au pays des millions d’euros en vue d’empêcher les migrants et les réfugiés de traverser la Méditerranée à la recherche de refuge en Europe.
