Zine el Abidine Ben Ali |
 | | Ben Ali took power in a bloodless coup on November 7, when the cranky and old Bourguiba was ousted. |
| | Ben Ali was at that time prime minister, and had strong connections in the army, which gave support to the coup. |
| | Ben Ali's economic politics are a kind of social democracy, the government trying to control the activities of investors and private companies. |
