Tunisia’s new beginning

Tunisia’s newly elected assembly had its opening session on Nov. 22, 2011, with outgoing officials from the interim government joining in the ceremony celebrating the transition.

The assembly has one year to draft a constitution, while dealing with demands to stabilize and improve the economy. The moderate Islamist Ennahda party that dominates the coalition government has stated it is not planning any major changes to laws supporting religious tolerance.
