[Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman @SenateForeign]

Kais Saied’s decision to replace #Tunisia’s Independent Electoral Commission raises serious concerns about the fate of Tunisia’s #democracy. Kais #Saied’s dismantling of democratic institutions is putting the U.S.-Tunisia relationship at risk.

This has been such an inspiring project to follow! An example of how real solutions are possible across political divides and differences - all it takes is a shared commitment in a better Tunisia (and in this case A+ moderation by @SallyChaaben) ! #IRI_Tunisia

[Sally Chaabane @SallyChaaben]

We reached the last of 8 policy circles with inspiring women leaders from civil society and political parties. Tunisian participants have worked together to develop a policy paper that addresses the weak state policy to protect women working in rural areas.
