Tunisians Struggle Economically Five Years After Saied's Power Consolidation

27 Temmuz 2026Al Jazeera

Five years after President Kais Saied's consolidation of power in Tunisia, the country has not experienced any economic improvement. Instead, citizens have faced a decline in personal freedoms and civil liberties.
This situation raises concerns about the long-term implications for democracy and governance in Tunisia.
Kais Saied took control of the Tunisian government in 2021, citing the need for political reform amid economic turmoil. However, his rule has been marked by a crackdown on dissent and a disregard for democratic norms, leading to widespread criticism from both citizens and international observers.
The lack of economic progress following Saied's power grab suggests that authoritarian measures may not yield the desired stability or prosperity. Instead, the erosion of freedoms could lead to increased discontent among the populace, potentially destabilizing the regime in the future.
