Should kais saied afraid from his neighbor Algeria not the UAE and Egypt!
Algeria / Tunisia
UAE / Egypt
UAE / Egypt
The “coup” of Tunisian President Kais Saied has numbered days
cause of the opposition of Western countries to him including Algeria and Turkey, despite the support he finds from Egypt and the UAE.
The British website, "Hearst", informed that an Algerian source said about the Tunisian coup , “This coup has no prospect of success. We asked Kais Saied to negotiate with Ghannouchi, and we know exactly how the Egyptians and Emiratis carried out this coup. We do not want to see another Haftar in Tunisia. We do not want to see a government in Tunisia affiliated with these forces.”
The writer emphasized that this “coup” is losing momentum and does not get the support it needs to run the country, and wider and broader circles of Tunisians at home are now aware of those who run the state, government and judiciary. he added that outside financial support for Kais Saied is unlikely, which is important for a small, bankrupt country like Tunisia, which cannot pay its huge public sector wage bill and owes an external debt of $6 billion due this year alone.
"Hearst" quoted Tunisian and Italian sources that ambassadors from Germany, Italy and the United States asked the Tunisian president to restore parliament as soon as possible, and that the Americans prevented him from organizing a mass rally in favor of seizing power, and they all conveyed messages of support to Rached Ghannouchi, Speaker of Parliament and Head of the Ennahda Party, in addition to other party leaders.
According to the sources, Saeed may be inclined to ignore all this, now that he believes that he has assurances from Egypt and the UAE that they will finance him, “but before accepting these financial promises as real, he should ask the Sudanese about their experience with such promises.”
The source emphasized that it was Algeria that Saied should be most concerned about. cause Tunisia is a small country with big neighbors, “neither Egypt nor the Emirates, who organized and financed this coup, respectively” among the neighbors that the Tunisian president should worry about.
He said that “Algeria considers Tunisia its backyard and its gateway to Tripoli, and it has a clear regional interest in the events in both Tunisia and Libya. After the Emiratis failed in Libya, they are now trying to achieve the same goals in Tunisia, or at least that is how the Algerian government see it.”
The Turkish government is also concerned about the events in Tunisia, not least due to the feeling that the recent détente between Egypt and the UAE with Ankara could be a ploy to distract Turkey from the real action, which was a move against Tunisia.
but in Tunis, Saïed does not listen, and Italian diplomats complain that he does not understand that democracy is pluralistic, nor is it a matter of being a populist leader against MPs whom he accuses of corruption
"Hurst" pointed out that in 2019, when Saeed was a presidential candidate and talking about corruption, he gave an interview in which he spoke openly about his plans. When asked to describe his electoral platform, Saeed replied, “I have proposed a project for years for a new system… There must be a new political thought and a new constitutional text.”
Saeed added - in that interview - that if he wins the presidency, he will get rid of the legislative elections, noting that "parliamentary democracy in Western countries is bankrupt and its time is over."
Then the interviewer asked him, “Is the problem with the parties or with the Tunisians who do not read?” Saeed replied, “The problem is the parties. Their role is over.”
it's Not just a battle against a totalitarian president or an Islamist-dominated parliament, Tunisians are now wondering where Said Tounes is leading them!.
