Parliament has been dissolved, scores of judges sacked and opponents jailed. Once Tunisia - the north African country of just 12 million people squeezed between it’s much bigger neighbours Libya and Algeria - was a beacon of democracy. It was the first Arab country to overthrow it’s dictator Ben Ali in 2011 during what became known as the Arab Spring. Now a new authoritarian leader, Kais Saied, dominates the country.

The Real StoryTunisia’s democracy on the brinkTunisia in North Africa was the birthplace of the Arab Spring, a wave of popular uprisings that shook or toppled authoritarian regimes in the region. But, after a decade of fragile democracy, in 2019 a new strongman, President Kais Saied, swept to power. He directed his campaign at young Tunisians, promising an end to corruption. There was optimism but the Covid pandemic had battered the economy and exposed - as it did in many other countries - the weaknesses of the health system. Mr Saied insisted Tunisia's democratic system was not working so he used emergency powers to...2023-04-2849 min
Ipertèsti“La Tunisia di Kaïs Saïed".

Secondo Saïed, è in atto “un’azione criminale, che mira a cambiare la composizione demografica della Tunisia” con l’obiettivo segreto, finanziato da Paesi stranieri, di togliere al paese l’identità storica araba e musulmana. Ma lo sconcerto creato a livello internazionale da queste dichiarazioni può avere ricadute significative sulla fragile economia tunisina. A questo tema è dedicato l’articolo di Gio...2023-04-1306 min

State of PowerTunisia's "Coup not Coup": In Conversation with Heythem GuesmiAbout a decade ago, Tunisia was the birthplace of the so-called Arab spring, when Tunisians toppled the decades long dictator Ben Ali, heralding momentous changes across North Africa and beyond. To some extent, the Tunisian experience seems to be an exception in the region, because the country did not descend into the chaos and violence that have affected its neighboring countries since.
However, many argue that the popular aspirations of the Tunisian people have been subverted and their demands for dignity, national sovereignty, and social justice have been sidelined by the same disastrous economic policies that led the pe...2021-08-271h 04

However, the future of Tunisia’s democracy is at risk after the events of July 25, when Tunisian President Said suspended Parliament and dismissed the Prime Minister. What spurred this decision?

StratNews Global‘Tunisia Is In Crisis But It Should Soon Return To Democracy’The euphoria of the ‘Arab Spring’ seems to be well and truly over for Tunisia. The recent sacking of the prime minister and the suspension of Parliament by President Kais Saied seems to suggest that the transition from dictatorship to parliamentary democracy – Tunisia was the only country in the Arab Spring who managed to do so – has failed. But Africa expert and former Indian ambassador to Libya Anil Trigunayat does not think so. In an interview with Ashwin Ahmad, the ambassador points out that the Tunisian people are supporting Saied out of compulsion. A collapsing economy, lack of stable governan...2021-08-0917 min

After the Arab uprisings in 2011, Tunisia saw changes in local governance and the adoption of a new constitution mandating the decentralization of power, leading the government to reorganize the country's municipal boundaries.

Womanity - Women in UnityAmbassador of Tunisia – Narjes DridiThis week we talk to the Ambassador of Tunisia to South Africa - Narjes Dridi. We discuss the challenges as well as achievements that Tunisian women have experienced in their journey to empowerment, tracing back to the first queen of Carthage (ancient Tunisia), circa 800BC. Ambassador Dridi emphasises the paradigm shift of 1956 which led to a modernisation of culture in Tunisia with the introduction of Acts for the emancipation and empowerment of women. This legislation gave women the right to divorce, to vote, to receive an education, to work, abolished polygamy, raised the legal age of marriage to 18 etc… As a...2018-07-1939 min
Maghrib in Past & Present | PodcastsTrade Unions and Nationalists in Colonial TunisiaEpisode 25: Trade Unions and Nationalists in Colonial Tunisia
In this podcast, Rebecca Gruskin, Ph.D. Candidate in History at Stanford University, proposes a re-evaluation of the Tunisian nationalist movement in the 1940s-1950s, by decentering Tunis, and instead focusing on the alliances and contestations that undergirded anti-colonial resistance in the Gafsa phosphate-mining basin. She argues that Tunisia's independence from France was not an event but a process – one in which the construction of the nation and the meaning of sovereignty were hotly contested by a wide variety of actors throughout the 1950s, even (and especially after) formal in...2018-02-2831 min

Global Dispatches -- World News That MattersHow Tunisia Became the Only Real Arab Spring Success StorySafwan Masri set out with a simple question: of all the countries caught in the turmoil of the Arab Spring, how is it that Tunisia was the only country to successfully replace a long ruling despot with a more or less functioning democracy? His new book Tunisia: An Arab Anomaly takes a deep dive into that question, examining Tunisia's history, politics and, crucially some decades old educational reforms. This is a very interesting conversation about both the Arab Spring, and Tunisia's unique experience. It is the Arab Spring success story--so far at least--and Safwan Masri helps me understand w...2017-10-2537 min

The CompassMy Perfect Country: 'State Feminism' in TunisiaTunisia comes under the spotlight, because it is rewriting the rules about what women can and can’t do in an Islamic country. Should it be a role model for its Muslim neighbours?
Women have more rights in Tunisia than in any other Islamic country. Since independence in 1956, the Code of Personal Status banned polygamy, gave women almost the same rights in law as men - the freedom to divorce them - and the right to be educated. Following this came the right to vote, stand for office, set up a business, demand equal pay, and the right to an...2017-01-1226 min
Els viatgers de la Gran AnacondaL'única grafitera de Tunísia amb hijab que pinta contra el terrorismeLa periodista Marta Ballesta volia saber una mica que hi havia escrit a les parets de Tunísia. Quina era l'expressió artística als murs de pobles i ciutats. Al capdavall, els murs són un termòmetre de les llibertats dels pobles. Allà s'hi reflecteix tot. A l'Egipte de la post Primavera àrab, per exemple, l'art urbà va ser l'art de la Revolució. A la Tunísia colpejada pel terrorisme jihadista anti occidental, els murs també es queixen. Queixes sorgides de la mà de Ouméma Bouassida, l'única grafitera de Tunísia amb hijab. Pinto contra el terrorisme, diu, però no no...2016-10-2252 min
Beyond BeliefTunisiaThe luxury hotels in the beach resorts of Tunisia which were once packed with tourists now lie nearly empty. The slaughter on the beach at Sousse on June 26th has added Tunisia to a growing list of no-go areas for Western tourists. Tunisia is 99% Muslim but was considered an oasis of secularism in the Arab World. Its revolution in 2011 marked the beginning of The Arab Spring, bringing democratic government in place of a dictatorship. But all those hopes now appear to have turned to dust. Tunisia sends more fighters to Syria than any other Arab country, perhaps as many...2015-08-2427 min
