*Political chaos in Tunisia after sudden decisions by Kais Saied

Ambiguity dominates the political situation in Tunisia after President Kais Saied suspended parliament’s seizure of executive power. And there is a state of anticipation over the next step of the president, who has always expressed his desire to turn the political system into a presidential one.

For his part, Tunisian Parliament Speaker Rached Ghannouchi staged a sit-in on Monday morning in front of Parliament in the capital, Tunis, after the army prevented him from entering the building, the day after President Kais Saied suspended the council’s proceedings, according to an AFP photographer.
