Tunisia's ruling Ennahda party on Thursday rejected plans by Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali to appoint a government of technocrats to rule the country in the wake of the assassination of opposition politician Chokri Belaid, dpa reported. "The country still needs a government that includes political figures," Ennahda's coordinator Abdelhamid Jelassi told Shems FM radio, communicating a decision by the party's executive committee. Jelassi said Jebali, who is Ennahda's general secretary, had not informed the party before announcing the move Wednesday night to quell tensions following the killing of Belaid.
