Mohamed Ghannouchi
After the ousting of the Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali during the revolution of 2011, Ridha Grira was reappointed by Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi to his position within the « national unity government » formed by Mohamed Ghannouchi. This government was strongly opposed by the people due to its composition of prominent figures of the former regime and the Constitutional Democratic Rally. At that time M.Grira was the president of the Manar II (Tunis) unit a position he held since 1994.
