Members of Tunisia's Ennahda resign, say movement no longer represents them
Tunisia’s Ennahda party is witnessing unprecedented internal differences between its young members and its senior members, which some pundits describe as the beginning of the movement’s end.
TUNIS, Tunisia — Hager Barcous, a local official for the Ennahda movement in Nice, France, announced Jan. 15 that she would withdraw her membership from the movement. She argued that Ennahda’s decisions, discourses and activities no longer represent her. She also demanded serious internal structural reforms before she resumed her partisan activity with Ennahda.
