Ex-president warns against fighting among Tunisians
TUNIS, Tunisia – Former Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki has warned against the danger of internal fighting among Tunisians as a result of Tunisian President Kais Saied’s measures.
In a statement, he said Saied continues to disintegrate “the democratic modern Tunisian State” as he believes that a new world order will take place.
Marzouki said that in the light of calls by Saied’s supporters to rally on May 8 and 15, he warned against fighting among the Tunisians.
“All this is happening because of one person (Tunisian president) and some mercenaries who are serving his continued catastrophe by setting a constitution fit for illegitimate and inefficient man,” Marzouki added.
Tunisia has been in the midst of a deep political crisis since July 25, 2021, when Saied dismissed the government, suspended parliament, and assumed executive authority, in a move considered by opponents as a “coup.”
Tunisia is also going through a severe economic crisis aggravated by the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing Russian war on Ukraine.
