A demonstrator raises a loaf of bread while others hold up a large banner depicting a composite face merging Tunisian President Kais Saied and former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, with text in Arabic stating, ''The arc of the revolution will not close,'' conveying the message that the two represent different faces of the same dictatorship--two sides of the same coin during a popular march that brings together thousands of Tunisians, including opposition supporters, human rights activists, civil society members, and families of detained opposition figures in Tunis, Tunisia, on January 10, 2026. According to organizers, the march takes place under the slogans ''Injustice Heralds Revolution'' and ''Revolutionary Mandate Against Tyranny,'' aiming for the restoration of the spirit of the Tunisian Revolution and the defense of freedom and dignity, asserting that the revolution belongs to the people. Participants denounce an escalating crackdown on freedoms and rights, describing it as an injustice under President Kais Saied's rule. The march comes in response to President Kais Saied's claim that a pro-Saied rally on the revolution's 15th anniversary in December 2025 reflects a popular mandate, a claim that critics challenge due to limited and orchestrated turnout.
