Marzouki warns of Tunisia falling into the grip of the Algerian regime

Dangerous developments put Tunisia’s sovereignty at stake

In a move reflecting the depth of the political crisis in Tunisia, former President Moncef Marzouki has issued a call for “total civil disobedience” throughout the month of September. This call stems from intelligence and media reports regarding a “secret security agreement” concluded by Kais Saied, which grants the Algerian regime the green light for direct military intervention within Tunisian territory should his rule be threatened or toppled by the street.

The Algerian regime exports its crises to its Tunisian neighbor

The exposure of these suspicious understandings confirms beyond a doubt that the Algerian regime is not content with creating tensions in its regional surroundings, but is now seeking to turn Tunisia into a “military protectorate” to protect an ally that has failed in managing internal affairs. This Algerian military infiltration into Tunisian affairs represents a direct threat to Maghreb national security.

Marzouki breaks the silence

Moncef Marzouki considered Kais Saied’s actions a “betrayal of national sovereignty” and an explicit surrender of Tunisian decision-making autonomy. Marzouki’s call for disobedience is not merely a demand for the release of detainees or a return to the democratic path, but a cry to save what remains of the Tunisian state before it becomes part of the “tutelage” system imposed by the Algerian regime through its suspicious deals.

Regional repercussions and imminent risks

Kais Saied’s compliance with the demands of the Algerian regime and the opening of Tunisia’s doors to its army places the Tunisian state in direct confrontation with its own people. The recent movements of the Carthage Palace, which suggest relying on external power to suppress domestic dissent, reveal the state of panic lived by Kais Saied after losing his popularity.
