AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ennahda Prison Standoff: Rached Ghannouchi, Tunisia’s jailed Ennahda leader, began a hunger and medication strike on Aug. 6, alleging “complete isolation” after a July 29 hospital transfer, with lawyers and family barred from visits and even health updates; his defense team calls it “inhuman abuse,” while authorities have not commented. One-Man Rule Under Strain: A new analysis marks five years since Kais Saied’s 2021 coup, arguing Tunisia’s state failures now show up in daily life—especially power and water cuts—leaving fewer places to blame and more room for protests. Youth Push for Early Elections: “Generation Z” launched an official petition demanding Saied’s resignation and early presidential and parliamentary elections, citing deepening economic, social, and political crises and a withdrawal of confidence in the president. Water-Electricity Crisis Fuels Discontent: Another report links the summer unrest to worsening shortages, including hospital power failures, and notes planned protests in Tunis. Tunisia-Ukraine Diplomacy: Foreign Minister Mohamed Ali Nafti spoke by phone with Andrii Sybiha on strengthening trade, agriculture ties, higher education cooperation, and the legal framework for bilateral relations. Regional Migration Pressure: Commentary on the Ceuta crisis highlights how the July surge from Morocco into Spain became a major political flashpoint across Europe and North Africa.
