Dr Hamrouni played a significant role in the resolution of the political crisis in Tunisia following two political assassinations in February 2013 and July 2013. He contributed to the National Dialogue process launched in Autumn 2013 to resolve the political impasse and has been a strong advocate for such consensual solutions.
