Tunisian Opposition Groups Rally on 'Jasmine Revolution' Anniversary

Several Tunisian opposition political parties and human rights organizations staged a demonstration in Tunis over the weekend to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the "Jasmine Revolution," which toppled the former dictatorial regime in 2011. Demonstrators denounced what they saw as a "democratic setback," with President Kaïs Saied seizing all power after dissolving parliament. For analysis into the political landscape of Tunisia, VOA’s Paul Ndiho spoke to William Lawrence, a professor of political science and international affairs at American University's School of International Service.
