Show Notes

Across North Africa, instability is at its highest level since 2011. In Algeria, President Bouteflika’s resignation was a necessary step to democratization, but it remains to be seen if the political structure can survive protesters’ demands for reform and ensure a peaceful transition of power.

On May 1, USIP hosted a conversation with the Tunisian Minister of Defense Abdelkrim Zbidi, where he discussed the dynamics of North Africa and how the U.S. and Tunisia are working together to promote regional security.

Speakers: Abdelkrim Zbidi Minister of Defense, Republic of Tunisia

Thomas Hill Senior Program Officer, North Africa, U.S. Institute of Peace

Michael Yaffe Vice President, Middle East and Africa, U.S. Institute of Peace
