La victoire Ennahdha pique la curiosité de bien des observateurs aux États-Unis. Dans mon dernier message je soulignais la position du LA Times, je vous laisse maintenant un article du Washington post.
"On Monday, the country’s leading Islamic party claimed victory — and that, too, could prove a positive example. The Ennahdha party, which was banned under the regime of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, said it had won at least 30 percent of the overall vote — and authorities said that it had captured half of the seats reserved for Tunisians living abroad. The party benefited from superior organization in a country where a bewildering array of secular parties are competing. The Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic movements in Egypt, which has scheduled elections for the end of November, will have the same advantage.
Ennahdha, however, has repeatedly said that it is not seeking to monopolize power nor to impose a fundamentalist agenda. Its leader, Rachid Ghannouchi, who spent decades in Britain as an exile, has spoken of modeling his party on the mildly Islamist AKP party of Turkey; he has pledged to support women’s rights. Ennahdha is likely to form a coalition with secular parties, two of which appear to have finished second and third in the voting.
Mr. Ghannouchi’s promises must still be tested. But the rise of Islamist parties is inevitable in a democratic Middle East; what is crucial is that these parties forswear violence and accept the rules of democracy and human rights. So far Tunisia’s largest Islamic movement has done that. If its success is accepted by secular Tunisians and by Western democracies, its moderate model should get a boost in Egypt and Libya.
Egypt’s ruling military council, meanwhile, would do well to imitate some of the procedures that made Sunday’s vote a success. Tunisia accepted more than 14,000 domestic and foreign observers, meaning that every ballot box was watched by an independent auditor. It adopted anti-fraud measures such as inking the fingers of voters. Egyptian authorities have resisted such basic safeguards; they should be pressed harder to reconsider."
