Tunis Takes To The Streets Against Racism And Fascism

A female protester holds a placard in Arabic reading, ''The solution is a strong and united Africa against fascism'' while others 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 what participants describe as a rise in racist rhetoric and attempts to criminalize solidarity with civil, political, and trade union work. They also express concern over the targeting of activists and advocates, which they view as a threat to the values of freedom, dignity, and equality. 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 contributed to a climate of hostility. Supporters, however, view his stance as part of a broader agenda focused on anti-corruption efforts and national sovereignty. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
