Tunisia's president appoints woman as prime minister in first for the Arab world

Interpretation by Patrick Turner
When reading about this article there is a lot of information that the reader has to pick up on. Yes, this is the first time that a female is in charge of the government in Tunisia. But from reading about the article it sounds like there is a bigger problem that is lying underneath what happened. The Government that they use is a democratic government but because the president of the country claims that the nation is under a national emergency that the people do not have to elect anyone in power that he could put any more in charge of the country that he, please. This seems very scary to me because it almost sounds like he is using the idea of a national emergency to get what he wants to do for his own political benefit not the countries benefit. What the president of Tunisia is saying is a national emergency is that the economy in Tunisia is struggling really bad right now and that they need to figure out a way to get their economy back on track so that they could eventually move on to more important matters.
