Tunis Takes To The Streets Against Racism And Fascism

Demonstrators raise their fists while shouting 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. Participants express concern over what they see as 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. His 2023 remarks on Sub-Saharan African migrants have been cited by critics as contributing to a climate of hostility. Supporters, however, view his stance as part of an agenda focused on anti-corruption and national sovereignty. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
