La Tunisie nouvelle: tensions sur le campus



 Vous remarquerez les barbelés derrière le couple sur la terrasse... Quel rôle l'Islam doit-il jouer dans la vie publique?

 "The turmoil at Manouba has kept Dean Kazdaghli, who is elected by faculty representatives, at the top of the news and editorial pages, sometimes admired for his embrace of a secular campus, sometimes derided for letting things get out of control or for failing to acknowledge the needs of the Salafist students.

In many ways, his troubles offer a window into the forces at work in Tunisia today as the country tries to build a new order, balancing the freedoms of democracy and religion and the complex yearnings of people who, after living under repressive rulers for nearly 60 years, have little experience in accommodating their diversity.

 The Arab Spring began in Tunisia, and it remains the bright spot in the region, with a moderate Islamist party taking power, a constitutional assembly elected and working, a small educated society and a strong middle class. But just like Egypt, Libya and even states where the government did not fall, like Morocco, Tunisia is still struggling to come to terms with what role Islam will play in public life. It is a struggle that many Tunisians believe could prove to be the making — or the unmaking — of their fledgling state.
