AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoTunisia’s Five-Year Political Reckoning: Tunisians marked the 5th anniversary of Kais Saied’s 2021 power grab with fresh street protests in Tunis, as demonstrators linked tighter political freedoms and media crackdowns to worsening living conditions, heatwave-linked service failures, and a deepening economic squeeze. Opposition Leader Health Diplomacy: Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim sent a letter to President Saied urging the release of jailed Ennahda leader Rached Ghannouchi on humanitarian grounds, spotlighting the political cost of detention and family access limits after his prison collapse. Press Freedom Under Pressure: CPJ and partners urged Tunisian authorities to end the “unjust imprisonment” of journalists and rights defenders, citing prosecutions under Saied’s cybercrime framework and naming multiple reporters still behind bars. Public Anger Meets Infrastructure Strain: Separate reporting ties the latest unrest to electricity and water cuts during extreme heat, with wildfires in the north exposing weak infrastructure and community vulnerability. Regional Security Watch: Tunisia also appears in wider regional diplomacy, including calls for coordination with Egypt amid shifting instability.
