Tunis Takes To The Streets Against Racism And Fascism

Demonstrators hold up placards and shout slogans during a march organized by the Campaign Against the Criminalization of Civil Work to protest racism in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 11, 2026. The demonstration, which includes human rights organizations, civil society groups, and activists, addresses concerns about rhetoric perceived as inciting and attempts to criminalize solidarity with civil, political, and trade union work. President Kais Saied's recent rhetoric has drawn criticism from human rights groups, opposition figures, and international observers, who describe it as increasingly xenophobic and authoritarian. Following his 2023 remarks on Sub-Saharan African migrants, critics argue that his language contributed to a climate of hostility. Supporters, however, view his stance as part of a broader agenda focused on anti-corruption and national sovereignty. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
