AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Prison Health Crisis in Tunisia: Ennahda leader Rached Ghannouchi, jailed since 2023, is reported to be in critical condition after fainting and severe exhaustion linked to extreme heat at Mornaguia prison; lawyers say authorities blocked visits by his family and defence team, while Ennahda insists the state is fully responsible for his safety. Heatwave-Driven Unrest: As Tunisia endures sweltering 50C temperatures, protests are spreading over ongoing electricity and water cuts, with demonstrators blocking roads and residents reporting health impacts and losses. Economic Stagnation Under Saied: Five years after Kais Saied’s 25 July 2021 power grab, coverage argues Tunisia’s economic crisis shows no end in sight, with political institutions and opposition repression failing to deliver promised development. Gaza Funding Clampdown Reaches Tunisia: A US donor living in Tunisia, James “Fergie” Chambers, was arrested in Spain and faces extradition over alleged financial support to Hamas, raising alarm about a wider Trump-era crackdown. Tunisia’s Political Backdrop: Commentary marks the anniversary of the dismantling of Tunisia’s post-2011 democratic experiment, framing the shift to one-man rule as the turning point for rights and governance.
