Tunisian President Kais Saied’s supporters rallied in the capital on Wednesday calling the opposition “traitors”, following mounting street protests in recent weeks that have highlighted widening political divisions. The rival rallies come amid a deepening economic crisis marked by high inflation, shortages of some basic goods and poor public services, which have fuelled public anger. Rights groups have accused Saied of an unprecedented crackdown on the opposition, saying he is using the judiciary and police to stifle criticism. Saied rejects the accusations, saying he is cleansing the country of traitors and a corrupt elite.
Demonstrators gathered in central Tunis waving national flags and chanting slogans backing Saied, whom they credit with confronting corruption and entrenched political elites. They accused Saied’s opponents of seeking to destabilise the country, describing them as “traitors”. They chanted “people want Saied again” and “we support the leadership and sovereignty”.
