Thousands rally in Tunis demanding end to President Saied's rule

Monday, 27 July 2026, 06:30 · 1 min read

Thousands of Tunisians marched in the capital Tunis on Saturday, calling for the resignation of President Kais Saied on the fifth anniversary of his 2021 suspension and dissolution of parliament, which critics have called a constitutional coup. Demonstrators denounced worsening living conditions, democratic backsliding, and restrictions on press freedom, holding portraits of imprisoned journalist Mourad Zghidi and signs reading "Get out" and "Game over." The protest comes amid heightened public frustration as a severe heatwave has triggered wildfires and repeated power and water outages across the country.
