Tunisia is still suffering with out stable government!

Tunisia's new electoral chief threatens to resign (New African)

The head of Tunisia's new electoral commission threatened to resign on Wednesday as members rowed over the appointment of a minister seen as close to ousted strongman Zine el Abidine Ben Ali.
Yad Ben Achour had to suspend the raucous meeting after most of the commission members demanded that the panel issue a statement criticising Habib Essid, who was appointed interior minister on Monday.
The commission members said Essid was too close to Ben Ali, who was ousted in January by a popular uprising.
Ben Achour accused the members of trying to sabotage the work of the commission, which is tasked with drafting an electoral code and a new constitution to be presented to a constituent assembly to be elected in June ahead of democratic elections in July.
It includes representatives of political parties, civil society and experts in constitutional law, and is due to be expanded to include more representatives of groups that took part in the January uprising.
