"Hundreds of residents of the Tunisian capital took to the streets on Wednesday in a popular march to commemorate the anniversary of the December 17 Revolution. Footage shows hundreds holding placards and pictures of Tunisian President Kais Saied, as demonstrators chant their support and carry signs with messages including: "We are the decision-makers; no foreigner among us" and "No foreign interference in Tunisia’s internal affairs, full support for the President’s sovereignty in holding the corrupt accountable and liberating the nation." "Today’s popular mobilization clearly shows that we are on the right path, and, God willing, all promises to achieve a social state that cares for all segments of society, from Bizerte to Tataouine, will be fulfilled, with equal opportunities for everyone. God willing, injustice and oppression in Tunisia will be removed forever," said speaker of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People, Ibrahim Bouderbala. Meanwhile, Mohamed Amin Mabrouki, a member of the Assembly from Kasserine, commented on the goals and projects realised after the events of July 25, 2021, when President Kais Saied invoked Article 80 of the Constitution, dismissed the Prime Minister, and suspended parliamentary activities. "After what happened on July 25, promises are no longer mere words; they have become tangible goals achieved on the ground, thanks to the will of the people and the will of the President. We dream of a better Tunisia, the Tunisia of tomorrow," he said. The annual anniversary of the ousting of former Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali falls on January 14, when he left the country in 2011 after 23 years in power, following widespread popular protests in the capital. The Tunisian revolution began on December 17, 2010, in the city of Sidi Bouzid, with protests lasting around 28 days, demanding freedom and social justice. In 2021, President Kais Saied decided to mark December 17, when the revolution began, as the official date for commemoration, replacing January 14. "
