This BBC news report holds hope that the sensibles will win...
Mr Ghannouchi, 69, says his Ennahda party intends to work for the popular uprising that toppled Mr Ben Ali.
Observers say his return is the most potent symbol yet of the change that has swept the country since then.
His return follows the interim government's announcement that media curbs would be lifted, banned political parties allowed to register and political prisoners amnestied.
Alongside his supporters, the Reuters news agency said, was a small group of secularists with banners reading: "No Islamism, no theocracy, no Sharia and no stupidity!"
Mr Ghannouchi fled Tunisia after a crackdown against Ennahda by President Ben Ali.
