Obama meets Tunisian Prime Minister

President Barack Obama pledged US support for Tunisia's political and economic development as he welcomed the North African nation's leader, Prime Minister Beji Caid Essebsi, to the White House on Friday.     

Tunisia sparked the wider democracy movement now known as the Arab Spring when citizens took to the streets in January to protest their authoritarian government, headed by President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.     

"Tunisia has been an inspiration to all of us who believe that each individual man and woman has certain inalienable rights, and those rights must be recognized by a government that is responsive and democratic," Obama said.     

The president said the US would play a strong, supportive role as Tunisia transitions toward full democracy.
