Sheikh Farid Al-Baji

Sheikh Farid Al-Baji, who recently joined the Nidaa Tounes movement, confirmed that the real battle is inside Ennahda movement, not with his movement.

He added in a statement of Arabs Today that he was not surprised that the response to his statements by many leaders, including Abdullatif Makki, known for his explicit call for a period of time to reconsider the government participation and national consensus between Ennahda and Nidaa Tounes movements, following that Makki had revealed this himself during his response, where it proved that the consensus has caused a heated debate within Ennahda movement.

Al-Baji confirmed that Sheikh Abdel-Latif Al-Makki's part includes the rules and leaders that did not receive their share of the appointments. He added that the other part is working under the theory of launching the initiative or liberating the initiative, which means  that some leaders allow for conducting of extreme blows in the case of imprisoning the leaders without reference to a direct order of them, as happened in the incident Bab Suweika, where the burning of Tunisian citizens.

He added that those who had read the comments which attacked him, will be sure of this part's anger of the policy of Rashid Ghannouchi, which turned from his statement that the Tunisian President Baiji Kayed Sebsi and Nidaa Tounes are most dangerous on Tunisians than the Salafis, to the consensus in a government of national unity with Nidaa Tounes, which founded by al-Sibsi.

Al-Baji stressed that Nidaa Tounes movement led by unified leadership and rules contributed in supporting this consensus in the interest of the state and society. "Therefore, Ghanouchi succeeded in taming this ideas, as Hafez Qaid al-Sibsi also succeeded in unifying the legitimate Nidaa Tounes towards consensus and supporting the witness government until the end," he said.
 
"It should be clear to the Tunisian people that the threat of national unity is not in Nidaa party, but inside Ennahda movement," he stated.
