Ennahda Movement

The Ennahda Movement is a Tunisian political organization founded in 1981, often described as an Islamist party. It advocates for moderation, democratic principles, and social justice, aiming to balance religious values with modern governance. Ennahda played a significant role during Tunisia’s transition to democracy after the 2011 Arab Spring, participating in government and promoting political pluralism. While rooted in Islamic principles, it has generally sought to integrate religion with a focus on civic rights, religious freedom, and peaceful political participation, making it a key actor in Tunisia’s evolving democratic landscape.
