(Reuters) | A
black and white photograph on Rached Ghannouchi's desk
shows him as a young activist proclaiming the birth of a Tunisian Islamist
movement that three decades later would win the first elections after the Arab
uprisings.
But having
inspired Islamists across the Middle East by rising to power following
Tunisia's 2011 popular revolution, Ghannouchi's moderate Islamist Ennahda party
now finds itself within weeks of voluntarily stepping down.
Ennahda last
week agreed its coalition government would resign, but only after negotiations
with secular opposition parties to establish a temporary, non-party government
to run the country until new elections.
