Tunisia's rival political parties have set themselves a Jan. 14,2014 deadline
to adopt a new constitution, the first since the country overthrew a
dictator and unleashed revolts around the Arab world.
The constitution is meant to end months of political crisis in Tunisia
prompted by the killing of two opposition leaders. A group of 21
parties, including the governing Islamists and opposition movements, has
been trying to finalize the charter and set a calendar for presidential
and parliamentary elections.
The group's spokesman Mohamed Mahfoudh said late Monday Dec 23,2013 that they have
set a deadline of Jan. 14 to do so. That date will mark three years
since a popular uprising forced out Tunisia's longtime president.
