Tunisians begin voting in parliamentary election


    TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisians began voting on Sunday in parliamentary elections, four years after they cast out autocrat Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali.

    Tunisia has fared better than neighbours who also ousted their own long-ruling leaders during the Arab Spring uprisings, largely avoiding their polarisation and chaos even though it faced similar tensions over Islamist versus more secular rule.
