It’s been two years since Kais Saied mounted a coup on the Tunisian constitution, and more than 100 days since the arrest of the elected Speaker of the Tunisian Parliament Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi.
Where does Tunisia find itself now and what can the Tunisian people look forward to?

When Kaid Saied dissolved parliament and suspended the Constitution, many thought that it would be a matter of days, weeks at most, before things went back to normal and Tunisia resumed its progress towards creating the democratic state which its revolution in December 2010 promised.

However, two years on from that fateful night, Tunisia finds itself on the slippery and dangerous path towards oppression, authoritarianism and dictatorship, which most Middle Eastern states display.

Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi, the 82 year old elected Speaker of Parliament and head of Ennahda Party has now spent over 100 days in prison along with dozens of political prisoners, facing frivolous trumped up charges forced by the Saied Regime.

Ahmed Gaaloul of Ennahda party and Yusra Ghannouchi, daughter of Sheikh Rached discuss with Anas Altikriti where Tunisa and the Tunisian people find themselves, and to what future both can look forward.
