TUNISIA PROTESTS ANALYSIS
Several Tunisian opposition political parties and human rights organizations staged a demonstration in Tunis over the weekend to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the “Jasmine Revolution,” which toppled the former dictatorial regime on 14 January 2011. Demonstrators denounced what they saw as a “democratic setback” since President Kaïs Saied seized all power after dissolving parliament and pushing through a new “tailor-made” constitution. For more insight into the current political situation in Tunisia, VOA’s Paul Ndiho spoke to William Lawrence, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at American University’s School of International Service.
