Democracy in Tunisia

BBC Radio 4 - The Report, Democracy in Tunisia

Linda Pressley travels to Tunisia to examine the progress of its transition to democracy.

Linda Pressley travels to Tunisia to meet the exiles who have returned from Britain to help rebuild the political and business life of their homeland.

Tunisia was the focus of international attention when popular protest helped to topple the country's autocratic leader and triggered a wave of demonstrations across the region. But what happens next? Linda Pressley travels to Tunisia and meets those vying for political and business influence in its more open society. Amongst those she speaks to are Sheikh Rachid Ghannouchi, leader of Tunisia's largest Islamist party and, until recently, a resident of Hemel Hempstead.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
