Ensuring political stability and tackling high rates of poverty and unemployment, as well as unequal growth, were the biggest challenges to President Aziz. The president benefited from the upr’s domination of parliament and the fact that the opposition alliance, the ‘Forum National pour la Démocratie et l’Unité (fndu), was fragmented and hardly represented in parliament. The moderate Islamist party, Tawassoul, established itself as the main opposition force. Progress towards the abolition of slavery continued to be slow, notwithstanding the government’s attempts to follow the road map to that end.
