Thousands rally in Tunisia in biggest protest in years against President Saied
Thousands of people took to the streets in Tunisia, a North African country, against President Kais Saied. It is described as the largest protest against him in years.
Thousands of people rallied in Tunisia, a North African country, on 17 October in what is described as the biggest protest in years against President Kais Saied.
The demonstration was organised jointly by trade unions and opposition groups. That unity matters, because different organisations stood together against the government's policies on this occasion.
What the protesters want
Demonstrators voiced anger over poor living conditions in the country. They also objected to restrictions on political freedoms.
