UNITED NATIONS — Tunisia’s foreign minister said Tuesday his government is ready for Oct. 23 elections, the first since a rebellion overthrew the country’s longtime dictator, sparking an unprecedented wave of pro-democracy uprisings across the Arab world. Mouldi Kefi expressed hope in an interview that Tunisians eager for democracy would put aside their “egocentric” demands, protests and strikes and focus on the best interests of the country. Tunisians launched the Arab Spring uprisings against autocratic rulers when they toppled President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January.
