In its first-ever debate dedicated to a national context, Munathara asked the question: Is Tunisia on the right path? The October 23, 2012 deadline for Tunisia’s National Constituent Assembly to conclude its work had just passed, and many were wondering if the ruling Ennahda party had taken Tunisia on the right path.
Held in Tunis’s Africa Hotel, overlooking Habib Bourguiba Avenue - the cradle of the Arab revolutions - the debate featured Ajmi Lourimi, Vice President of the Ennahda movement, and opposition politician Yassine Brahim, Secretary-General of the Tunisian Republican Party. They were joined by Musabaqat Munathara #DD6 winners Oumayma Theiri and Nasser Benzine. 18-year old Oumayma, from the Tunisian town of El Kef, was widely hailed as “the discovery of the Munathara” for her outstanding debate skills.
#DD6 was also the debate cycle during which Munathara launched its Android and iOS applications, which allow for participation in our debates using only a smart phone. The full debate was broadcast on El Hiwar TV in Tunisia.
