PoliticsAntigovernment protesters take to Tunisia’s streets for a second month

Hundreds marched in Tunis demanding President Kais Saied’s ouster, a return to democracy and the release of jailed opposition figures, activists and journalists. Protesters rejected “one-man rule” and what they called a slide toward dictatorship. Worsening economic conditions, rising living costs, weak public services and water and power cuts have also fueled protests across Tunisia.
