"If an Arab and a Jew can look at one another and see the Akashic lineage and see the one family, there is hope. If they can see that their differences no longer require that they kill one another, then there is a beginning of a change in history. And that's what is happening now. All of humanity, no matter what the spiritual belief, has been guilty of falling into the historic trap of separating instead of unifying. Now it's starting to change. There's a shift happening."

You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

Tunisia Prime Minister Ali Larayedh resigns ahead of elections

Deutsche Welle, 9 January 2014

Tunisia's Islamist prime minister, Ali Larayedh, has resigned, handing power over to a caretaker government. The cabinet of technocrats will run the country until fresh elections.

Prime Minister Ali Larayedh, of the moderate Islamist Ennahda Party, resigned on Thursday under a plan with the opposition to end a months-long political crisis.

"I have just handed my resignation to the president," Larayedh told reporters. "I hope the country will be a model for democratic transition," he added.

The resignation of the Ennahda-led government has been viewed as the party's'failure to manage the rocky transition following the 2011 ouster of Tunisia's autocrat, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali - marking the first of the ArabSpring uprisings in the region .

Tensions flared again last July when gunmen killed two secular opposition leaders sparking protests and calls for Ennahda members to resign from power for being too lax with hardliners.

As a result of the turmoil, Ennahda reached a compromise late last year with main opposition Nidaa Tounes to hand over power. As part of the agreement Tunisia's national assembly is in the process of voting on a new constitution. New elections will be held this year and an electoral council has been appointed to oversee the vote.

Tunisia's new government will face a host of issues including massive economic reforms to cut back its deficit. Cities across the North African nation have been wracked by protests this week over high inflation, unemployment and new taxes in the budget.
