Qatari involvement is growing here, with a lot of business and
investment, but people are afraid that this will come with political
influence.
• Still, Tunisia is keen to rebuild its relations with its neighbours.
There were some tensions with Libya, which are being resolved,
and foreign dignitaries including the Algerian president came to
Tunis for the anniversary of the revolution.
• Looking further afield, Ennahda knows that it needs resources and
economic support from the West and that there’s a need to be
pragmatic. So the foreign minister of France has visited Tunis twice
so far, and American officials and businesses such as Microsoft and
Google are also exploring opportunities here.
• Tunisia wants to safeguard its sovereignty, but to keep to a policy
of positive engagement with the West.
