Key FactsNafas Leads Tunisia Protest Over Utility Crisis and Saied’s Rule
Aug 22, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: arabnews.com
  • Many protesters at the Nafas-organized rally in Tunis called on President Kais Saied to resign.

  • With temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius, electricity demand hit records, prompting STEG to introduce rationing in several regions.

  • Power cuts disrupted water-pumping stations, while prolonged outages quickly depleted bottled-water supplies by interrupting factory operations.

  • Launched in May, the Nafas movement seeks to unite parties and independent figures beyond Tunisia’s traditional opposition to Saied.
    • We are also calling for the fall of the regime because after seven years, it has been proving its failure without a vision for change and reform.
    — Oussama Farhat, a 25-year-old primary school teacher and online influencer, speaking after Thursday’s protest.
