Freeman introduces the panel at the Tunisian elections forum.
Seated from left to right are Mohamed Harmel, Robert H. Pelletreau and Moncef Cheikhrouhou. Good news is not always given a hearing in the media. But just before Tunisia's first contested presidential election at the end of October, the Council held a policy forum at the National Press Club analyzing the phenomenon. Ambassador Freeman was the moderator. The contrast between Tunisia's political life and that of Algeria was a recurrent theme.
