Prime Minister Youssef Chahed said, on Sunday, the Republic of Tunisia “is experiencing today a milestone in the history of Tunisia and the judiciary”, refering to the holding of the first elections of the High Judicial Council (HJC). In a message to the judicial community and published on the official page of the Prime Ministry, Chahed said that this new stage in the process of the introduction of constitutional institutions “is likely to contribute to the consecration of the foundations of the independence of the judiciary for which militated entire generations of Tunisians.” It also lays the foundation for building the institutions of the 2nd Republic under the Constitution, he said. The Prime Minister also congratulated all Tunisians as well as all components of the judicial system for this important step, which he said, will be a step towards the completion of the democratic transition process in the country.

BreakingNews @en di

On Friday, U.S. Ambassador to Tunisia Daniel Rubinstein said societies with developing and developed economies should have conversations to create the positive welcoming environment so also young people can take the risks, be creative and start their own businesses.

“A conversation will go on in all of our societies with developing and developed economies to create that positive welcoming environment, not only the legal and regulatory environment but also in all of these issues (risk and failure) to allow young people to pursue their dreams and to create wealth and jobs to solve their societies’ problems,” the U.S. Ambassador told TAP at a debate at the headquarters of Wiki Start Up.

More than 83 attacks all over the world from June 2014 to date, as reported by Le Monde. More than 1,600 victims. Raqqa (Syria) and Maiduguri (Nigeria) the most affected cities. Since March 2015, when the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram joined the Caliphate, terrorist actions in Africa have dramatically increased. As well as the several organizations that, from Mali to Egitto, hit in the name of ISIS.

After 129 killed in Paris, others were added from November to today:

Mali: More than 20 people were killed after a raid against Radisson Hotel last November 20. Thanks to military action by French and US special forces, 150 hostages were freed. After the arrest of two suspects, the local terrorist cells attacked on UN base at Kidal, killing 3 people.

Egypt: Two terrorist attacks. The first one, on November 24, was a double suicide attack which killed 4 people on a hotel in North Sinai. The second one, on November 28, when terrorists opened fire on checkpoint in Giza, killing 4 policemen.

Nigeria: Before a truck station, then a Shiite procession. These two places, near the capital Maiduguri, were the two targets of Boko Haram troops. Over 35 and 32 killed.

Camerun: Four different kamikaze actions of four girls killed at least 5 people in Fotokol on 21 November.

Tunisia: 13 killed following a suicide bomb attack against a bus carrying members of Tunisia’s presidential guard on 24 November in Tunis. As well as actions in the Bardo Museum and on Sousse beach last June, Daesh claimed responsibility.

EU, Tunisia’s Prime Minister Habib Essid on security and migration challenges

BreakingNews @en di

Tunisia’s Prime Minister Habib Essid met the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Human Rights and Security and Defence subcommittees on Thursday to discuss the latest developments in his country. Security challenges, fighting terrorism and tackling migration flows were the key issues raised in the debate.

Tunisia’s transition to democracy has been difficult, taking over 3 years to complete, said Mr Essid, adding that its major political challenge now was to put its newly-approved constitution into practice.

“Development cannot happen without security”, he said, stressing that Tunisia’s new counter-terrorism strategy is a top priority. He also described its new 5-year strategy to boost the economy, including regional projects and development programmes.

On migration flows, Mr Essid stressed that prevention is always needed and the only way to achieve it is by finding sustainable solutions locally in order to integrate people in their own country, so as to prevent them from fleeing.

Mr Essid repeatedly thanked the European Parliament and the EU as a whole for lending their support to Tunisia during its difficult democratic transition period.

All MEPs welcomed Tunisia’s progress, acknowledging its difficulties with migration and terrorism, and saying that it should “lead by example”.
