Tunis Takes To The Streets Against Racism And Fascism

Tunisians hold up placards 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 what participants describe as a rise in rhetoric perceived as racist and inciting, as well as efforts to criminalize solidarity and civil, political, and trade union activities. The event also highlights concerns about the targeting of activists and advocates. President Kais Saied's rhetoric has been criticized by 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 has 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)
