Hundreds of Tunisians protest President Saied’s ‘power grab’
Hundreds of protesters have rallied in Tunisia’s capital to protest against President Kais Saied’s move to seize governing powers. Demonstrators gathered on Sunday in the centre of Tunis along Habib Bourguiba Avenue under a heavy police presence to demand his resignation, chanting, “The people want the fall of the coup.” Brushing aside much of the 2014 constitution, Saied gave himself the power to rule by decree on Wednesday, two months after sacking the prime minister, suspending parliament, and assuming executive authority.
