On Sunday, July 26th, 2026, thousands of protesters marched in Tunisia’s capital, Tunis, demanding the resignation of President Kais Saied. The demonstrations mark five years since Saied suspended parliament, a move that has drawn widespread criticism.

Protesters revived the slogan from Tunisia’s 2011 revolution, "the people want the fall of the regime," expressing their discontent with what they described as democratic backsliding, economic hardship, and political repression.

The rallies highlight ongoing tensions in Tunisia as citizens call for a return to democratic governance and relief from economic struggles.
