Nov 26 proposed as date for Tunisia local polls
Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed (L) shakes hands with the head of the Tunisian elections body
Tunis - Arab Today
The body in charge of organising elections in Tunisia on Tuesday proposed November 26 as the date for holding the first municipal polls since the country's 2011 revolution.
"It is still possible to hold the elections in 2017," said the president of the electoral body, Chafik Sarsar, at a meeting with Prime Minister Youssef Chahed and party officials.
He proposed November 26, a date which he said could be delayed until the first half of December, while calling for the timing to be decided this week.
It could even be pushed back to March 2018, he said.
But Sarsar warned that delays could be "a bad sign for Tunisia", whose revolution toppled longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and signal "an incapacity to move forward with the democratic transition".
Chahed said it was "necessary for the elections to take place in 2017", but the different party officials disagreed on a date at Tuesday's meeting.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
