This may be the first time in world history that people rock the streets in jubilation after a president dissolves parliament and fires his government [Link] Ennadha has been bullying Saied in the same way Hezbollah tries to lord it over Lebanon's government, and the public justifiably think this a threat to Tunisia's young democracy. Saied actually enhanced his popular image as 'le Robocop' with this move.

Bojicat: This may be the first time in world history that people rock the streets in jubilation after a president dissolves parliament and fires his government

Worth noting that there's polling on this already and the people overwhelmingly approve. Media fears of a civil war are overblown.

Saied is a phenomenon. The most popular leader in the Middle East and North Africa, by long strides. He can just about get away with anything. A staid, bloodless 'Robocop' that ironically inspires excitement, love and devotion to him in others. Even I personally like him, and I'm 4362 miles away from the aura of his 'charm'. I like the cut of his jib.
