Excerpt:
With Tunisia's landmark election fast approaching, Najoua Bennaceur has kicked her campaign into high gear and taken her party's message to the streets — of Paris and other cities in France.
Bennaceur, a Tunisian expatriate, is running for the so-called "North France" district seat in the race to elect an assembly that will take up the delicate task writing the North African nation's new constitution.
The election promises a first big taste of democracy for Tunisia, the birthplace of the Arab Spring, 10 months after its longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was driven from power in a public uprising.
