Thousands Protest Against Tunisian President Saied in Largest Rally in Years

Thousands of Tunisians joined what Reuters called the largest protest against President Kais Saied in years, held in the capital, Tunis, on October 17. Protesters accused Saied of undermining democracy and mishandling the economy. On October 22, police fired tear gas at protesters in Ettadhamen, a Tunis suburb, after a detained man died; his family blames police abuse.
