  • Democracy and Tunisia
    Democracy and Tunisia 27 August 2021 Image 1: Fethih Belaid/AFP via Getty Images. A protester lifts a Tunisian national flag during an anti-government rally in front of the parliament in Tunis, Tunisia, on 25 July 2021 Introduction President Kais Saied decided to enact Article 80 of the constitution on 25 July. Some Tunisians hailed it as a necessary intervention into a broken and stagnant political system. Others called it a coup, signifying the possible end of Tunisian democracy. Saied invoked emergency powers and suspended parliament for 30 days, a deadline which has since passed. He dismissed the prime minister, Hichem Mechichi, the defence and justice ministers. Saied called in the military, who surrounded the parliament. COVID-19 restrictions were extended, a nighttime curfew continued, and Saied reinforced a long-existing rule whereby gatherings of more than three people are not permitted. The president's move followed months of deadlock and disputes pitting him against prime minister Hichem Mechichi and a fragmented parliament as Tunisia sank into an economic crisis worsened by one of Africa's worst 1 Democracy and Tunisia COVID-19 outbreaks. This situation resulted in Saied claiming control over the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government. Parts of the population drew together in large crowds and took to the streets once more to support Saeid's decision. This reaction reflects some Tunisian's anger towards the moderate Islamist Ennahda, the biggest party in parliament, and the government over political paralysis, economic stagnation, and the pandemic response. Initially, parliament speaker Rached Ghannouchi, the historical head of Ennahda, condemned Saied’s actions as an assault on democracy and urged Tunisians to take to the streets in opposition; he and the party swiftly changed their stance and called for communication rather than confrontation.

  • Jihad Instead of Democracy?
    The Globalisation of Terrorism Jihad instead of Democracy? Tunisia’s Marginalised Youth and Islamist Terrorism Edmund Ratka / Marie-Christine Roux 64 Five years ago, Tunisians brought down their authoritarian regime under the banner of “work, freedom and dignity”, triggering a series of protests and transformation processes in the Arab World, which in turn had a great impact on Europe. Tunisia remains to be the only country in the region that has successfully transitioned from authoritarian rule to democracy. Notwithstanding, radicalization among young people is posing a threat to the country’s democratic transition, as many feel barred from the country's economic, social and political life. Thus, for many of those lacking prospects, “jihad” – whether abroad or at home – is rendered an ostensibly luring alternative. Islamist terrorism hit Tunisia in 2015 with full the country managed to avoid a coup scenario force.

  • UNICEF-Photo of the Year 2017
    UNICEF-Photo of the Year 2017 First Prize 2017 Syria: The face of a tormented childhood Zahra’s face. The face of a five-year-old Syrian girl in a refugee camp in Jordan. In 2015, Zahra’s parents fled the war in Syria with her and seven other children. They have lived in a tent ever since. Her father, who used to work as a taxi driver and farmer, is looking for work on the fields of the Jordan Valley; his children have no chance of attending school. Zahra was far from the first refugee child photographer Muhammed Muheisen, born in 1981 in Jerusalem, had met. The humanitarian tragedies in the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan are something the renowned photographer, who had worked many years for AP, knows all too well. But for him, Zahra’s face and her eyes, in particular, were symbolic for the fate of hundreds of thousands of girls and boys: the quiet sadness of the most innocent victims of war, displacement and exile. Having experienced an unspeakable amount of violence, these children initially have nothing else to cope with it than helplessness and disbelief. The face of a childhood lost forever. Photographer: Muhammed Muheisen, Jordan (AP/dpa) Second Prize 2017 Bangladesh: The exodus of the Rohingya Although they had lived for generations in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, the military junta’s 1982 Citizenship Act rendered them stateless. As a result, the Muslim Rohingya were excluded from mostly Buddhist Myanmar’s official list of 135 ethnic groups; so most of their children have no access to medical help and are not allowed to attend school.

    KONRAD-ADENAUER-STIFTUNG 3|2016 INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Rise and Fall of Regional Powers INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 3 | 2016 Editorial Dear Readers, A constant struggle for power and influence between states has always figured among the main characteristics of international politics. Regional powers can be considered the middle manage- ment of world politics: sufficiently powerful to make their mark on the region and take on a political and economic leadership role, but not yet or no longer powerful enough to be able to fill this role at the global level as well. In this connection, particular attention is due to those countries that have succeeded in developing into significant powers with regional influence or even further. This applies first and foremost to China, which has become considerably more influential in political, economic and military terms within just a few decades. One of the vehicles China uses to pursue its global political aims is the BRICS association which several authors deal with to start this issue off. While the article gathers different perspectives on BRICS, it illustrates above all one main point: the recent economic problems in most of the member states have strengthened China’s dominance within the group even further. The economic development in Vietnam, the second emerging econ- omy in Asia investigated in this issue, over the last three decades has meant that this country also plays an increasingly important role in the region. Apart from Vietnam’s economic strength, this has above all to do with the importance of its location on the South China Sea in terms of regional and geopolitics, although this not only entails opportunities, but also some risks, as Peter Girke reports.
