Tunisia Protest Over Living Conditions
Approximately 2,500 people demonstrated in Tunisia on Saturday to protest against deteriorating living conditions and the dominance of Kais Saied over the authority, marking the fifth anniversary of his seizure of power. The protests took place amid a severe heatwave with temperatures reaching up to 50°C and widespread outages of electricity and water. The protesters chanted slogans demanding the overthrow of the regime and the return of their rights. Criticism of the government’s failure to manage the crisis and the decline of rights and freedoms since the parliament was frozen in July 2021 continues. Power cuts have worsened the suffering of hospitals, with medical calls for volunteers and the provision of fans and refrigerators to alleviate the effects of the heat. Unofficial reports indicate that between 150 and 200 people have died due to the recent heatwave, although official figures have not been released yet.
