Tunisia, which gained its independence in 1956 and was ruled by dictatorial regimes from 1956 to 2011, overthrew the dictatorship of Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011 by way of a civil commotion known as the Tunisian Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity – also called the Jasmine Revolution. In 2011, the first elections were held in the country after peaceful protests by the Tunisian people forced Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali to resign, having ruled the country via a dictatorship for 24 years. Then, the so-called “Arab Spring” period officially began as Tunisia initiated its own process of building freedom and democracy in a peaceful manner. In this new era, Rached Ghannouchi, who had been living in exile for many years, returned to Tunisia to help establish a “democratic” process within Tunisian politics – for the first time in its history – via his Ennahda Movement. As key actors in this new Tunisian era, the Ennahda Movement and its leader Ghannouchi adopted social-reconciliation methods to establish legal, political, economic, and social stability in Tunisia. They fought for stability in Tunisia by taking part in all the governments established from 2011 to 2019.
