Iran Press/ Africa: The Tunisian president recently declared a state of emergency across the country with the suspension of parliament and the prime minister's dismissal.
Tunisian police have clashed with protesters near the chamber of the suspended parliament as demonstrators marched against President Kais Saied's seizure of political power four months ago.
The demonstrators stated that the parliament's independence is one of their most essential expectations and that the return of the democratic path and the previous political system is the wish of the Tunisian people.
People believe that the actions of the Tunisian president have paralyzed the economy, political and social processes.

Thousands of Tunisians rally against President Saied.
Saied seized nearly all powers in July, suspending the parliament and dismissing the government in a move his critics called a coup before installing a new prime minister and announcing he could rule by decree.
The president said his actions were needed to end governmental paralysis after years of political squabbling and economic stagnation and has promised to uphold rights and freedoms won in the 2011 revolution that brought democracy.
His moves appeared to have widespread popularity, and thousands of his supporters gathered for a rally to back him last month.
However, several prominent politicians have been arrested, and hundreds have faced travel bans, while a former president living outside Tunisia, Moncef Marzouki, faces prosecution for his verbal attacks on Saied.
