AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoTunisia’s five-year political squeeze: Tunisians marked the anniversary of Kais Saied’s 2021 power grab with renewed street protests in Tunis, as anger grows over tighter political freedoms, worsening living conditions, and routine power cuts during the heatwave. Ghannouchi detention pressure: Malaysia’s PM Anwar Ibrahim sent a letter to President Saied urging the release of jailed Ennahda leader Rached Ghannouchi on humanitarian grounds, citing his age and health. Press freedom under strain: The Committee to Protect Journalists and partners called on Tunisian authorities to end the “unjust imprisonment” of journalists and rights defenders, pointing to prosecutions under Saied-era cybercrime rules. Public anger meets infrastructure failure: Separate reporting links the latest unrest to electricity and water cuts and the broader sense that economic gains are not reaching ordinary people. Regional spillover: The week also kept Tunisia in the spotlight through cross-border politics and migration debates tied to the Ceuta crisis, while international attention remains fixed on Tunisia’s detention cases.
