Tunisian President Kais Saied has drafted a new constitution for Tunisia that gives him new sweeping powers, including authority over the judiciary and immunity for life from prosecution.
Tunisia was a beacon of hope for democracy after the Arab Spring. The country rid itself of dictator Ben Ali after 24 years of rule and moved to a more democratic system.
Now the country seems to be sliding back towards the one man rule that it has known for generations.
This week on The Inquiry we are asking why Tunisia has turned its back on democracy.
