TUNISI – Thousands of Tunisians have taken to the streets to protest against President Kais Saied, accusing him of economic mismanagement …
because of fuel and food shortages in the North African nation. Clashes occurred between police and protesters in the capital, Tunis, following the funeral of a young man who died last Thursday after being injured during a chase with security forces last August. This was reported in the media. Security forces had to use tear gas to disperse the protesters, who overturned and burned garbage cans. At a time of high social tensions, the government warns against “attempts to sow discord” using the net and by what it calls “electronic flies.”
