Prime Minister Habib Essid an**unced the make-up of his cabinet, which had initially been abandoned after the moderate Islamist Ennahda party warned it would vote against a line-up that excluded its members. The anti-Islamist Nidaa Tounes of President Beji Caid Essebsi won the largest number of seats in October's general election, with Ennahda coming second. Tunisia has struggled to form a stable government since it became the birthplace of the Arab Spring uprisings by ousting longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.
