Tunisia Faces Criticism Over Human Rights Concerns and Government Changes

Tunisia is under scrutiny from human rights organizations following reports of increasing restrictions on freedoms. Concerns have been raised regarding the treatment of dissidents and the independence of the judiciary. President Kais Saied dismissed Prime Minister Najla Bouden and appointed Ahmed Hachani as her replacement. This marks the latest in a series of government changes since Saied assumed power in 2019, raising questions about the stability and direction of the country. Tunisia is also grappling with significant economic and financial challenges, with limited growth prospects and a high unemployment rate, particularly among young people.
