Protests & Governance: Hundreds of Tunisians rallied in downtown Tunis calling for President Kais Saied to step down, linking the anger to extreme heat-driven power cuts, water shortages, medicine scarcity, rising prices, and tighter freedoms; the Nafas movement—built to unite parties and independents beyond Saied’s traditional opponents—helped mobilize the crowd, with rights groups also warning of repression and jailed critics. Migration & Human Rights: Tunisia reported at least 13 missing after a migrant boat capsized off the coast en route to Italy, with two survivors rescued; the case renews scrutiny of the EU-Tunisia migration deal amid allegations of abuses by security forces. Regional Diplomacy (Libya): UN-facilitated talks in Tunis advanced Libya’s electoral roadmap, including steps to form the High National Elections Commission and amend election laws, as UNSMIL said parties initialled a draft agreement and will meet again inside Libya. Detention & Solidarity: The Global Sumud Flotilla said a steering committee member in Tunisia, Wael Nawar, has started a hunger strike over preventive detention, alleging politically motivated charges tied to humanitarian solidarity with Palestine. Heat’s Wider Impact: Tunisia’s extreme temperatures also indirectly delayed delivery of new Dutch military combat clothing, with supply disruptions traced to power outages in Tunisia.
