Tunisia's coup.. Full disclosure of the facts

Tunisia has been in danger for a long time because it was its people who inspired the Arab peoples and led them to revolt against tyranny, and to wrest the freedom whose sun has been absent from the nation's skies over the past two centuries.

Tunisia has been in danger for a long time, because it was its people who inspired the Arab peoples and led them to revolt against tyranny, and to wrest the freedom whose sun has been absent from the skies of the nation over the past two centuries.

If democracy in Tunisia had succeeded, it would have become an example to which Arab hearts aspire, and it would follow the same path, striving to build its democratic experiences that would achieve comprehensive independence and progress based on self-sufficiency.

Knowledge is the right of the nation

For a long time, I have been following the events in Tunisia, and one of the most important results of that follow-up was that the media tried to drown the nation in details that could obscure the truth and falsify awareness, such as the differences between Tunisian political parties and trends and what is happening in Parliament, and the chants of secularists against the Speaker of the Council Rashid Ghannouchi.

But the scheme was greater than those details. The colonial and tyrannical powers were raising smoke in the sky of Tunisia to mislead its people, falsify their awareness, and manipulate them to prevent them from developing their democratic experience and self-determination.

The forces of colonialism and tyranny were running the scene, pushing the secularists to destroy the democratic experience, as happened in Egypt before the coup of July 3, 2013, and perhaps the most important positive results that the nation obtained in its lean years is that the truth of the seculars has become clear, they raise the slogans of freedom and democracy to deceive the people, and they They do not believe in the transfer of power, and the right of the people to choose the project on which to build their future, and that they destroy the democratic experience if the peoples choose the Islamic direction, and this shows their lack of loyalty to the cause of democracy, and they apply double standards that are incompatible with justice and constitute a basis for injustice and tyranny.

The root of the problem

But why do secularists stand with tyranny and dictatorship and support military coups in the face of the Islamic trend?!

An in-depth study of the history of secular parties shows that there is a strong relationship between the dependence on America and the old colonial countries Britain and France and their rejection of Islam because it can lead the peoples’ struggle to achieve comprehensive independence, and perhaps the people of Tunisia are the best able to know that fact.

The secularists can destroy societies so that they do not become Islamic, and this is consistent with France's position on Islam and its spread of Islamophobia and the laws it issues to impose restrictions on Muslims on the pretext that Islam contradicts the values of the Republic.

Can this explain to us the complexities of the scene not only in Tunisia, and can it explain to us that alliance between France and Arab despotism?

The nation has become in need of opening that file, and of a free press that reveals to the nation the facts. The awareness of the peoples and their knowledge of the enemy is the beginning of the stage of the struggle to achieve comprehensive independence.

The constitution is the basis of democracy..but!

The constitution is the basis on which all political and intellectual forces agree to manage society and public affairs and protect freedoms. Therefore, preserving and implementing the 1923 constitution was one of the most important axes of the Egyptian people’s struggle before 1952. The British occupation and the king were disrupting the constitution to enable their minority ministries to rule, and to exclude The majority that wins the election.

But then other, more dangerous methods emerged, namely, the application of the constitution by selective methods and double standards, and this contradicts the spirit and purpose of the constitution. Its texts may not be used to disrupt political life or deprive the majority of its right to rule.

The forces of tyranny and tyranny are good at tampering and manipulating constitutions, and searching for loopholes that allow them to abort democratic experiments, as happened in Egypt when the Constitutional Court issued its ruling dissolving the People’s Assembly on the pretext that there was an unconstitutional provision in the election law, thus canceling the first parliament chosen by the people of Egypt in free and fair elections since 1951.

Therefore, we must affirm the principle that tampering with the constitution and exploiting the loopholes in it is a violation of the constitution itself, an abortion of democracy and a restriction of peoples' rights.

case of necessity

Among the most important loopholes exploited by the forces of tyranny and tyranny is the so-called state of necessity that allows the ruler to take measures that can protect national security or public peace in the event of a threat to the country’s security, and among those measures is the imposition of a state of emergency that allows the authority not to abide by the procedures stipulated by the Constitution, especially in the field of public freedoms.

In many countries, this loophole is exploited to abort democracy. The state of emergency has been imposed in Egypt since 2013 until now, but this constitutes manipulation of the constitution, bad faith in choosing the texts to be applied, and abuse of the right.

The state of necessity can be manufactured through events such as the demonstrations and bombings that Abdel Nasser orchestrated in Cairo in 1954, and prompted workers to chant against democracy and demand the fall of the constitution.

This was evident in the Egyptian scene in 2013, and the Tunisian scene in 2021, and these events are exploited by the tyrannical ruler to disrupt the constitution, abort democracy, monopoly rule and control state institutions.

President Kais Saied presented himself to the Tunisian people as a professor of constitutional law, and that his students at the university who were studying this law were the ones who pushed him to run for the presidency, and this means that he built his mental image as a president that he can protect the constitution, and preserve the right of the people of Tunisia to democracy Certainly, the professor of constitutional law knows that the constitution protects the will and rights of the people and guarantees public freedoms.

This means that President Qais Saeed's first loss is his mental image that he struggled to build, which is his true wealth. Perhaps a new mental image will form for him as the first constitutional law professor to manipulate the constitution and abort the democratic experiment.

Use of brute force

I listened to Qais Saeed's speech, and I see that he lacked the ability to persuade and bypass the constitution, and threatened his people with firing a barrage of bullets at them, and this means that he uses brute force to prevent his people from expressing his opinion on the measures he took, and he also used the force of the army to close Parliament, And prevent elected representatives representing the people from entering it.

This means that he is hitting the basis of his legitimacy, which is the election. If he has reached the presidency with the votes of his people, then the representatives have reached their parliamentary seats with the votes of this people.

But what will he gain?

If President Qais Saeed surrounded himself with advisors who study the reality in depth and foresee the future, they would have made it clear to him that the measures he took would pose a danger to him, and that he would lose a lot. The forces that pushed him to overturn the will of his people will get rid of him after he plays his role in achieving their goals because they do not want an elected ruler in Any Arab country, which is against elections, democracy and freedom.

As for the experience he wants to reproduce, the Egyptian one, he can ask about its results, and whether the people of Tunisia will allow him to repeat it.

Just as the people of Tunisia inspired the Arab peoples and led them in the Arab Spring revolutions, the Egyptian experience can inspire them, so they unite to defend their right to self-determination, and declare their rejection of these measures so that Tunisia does not become like Egypt.

The Egyptian experience inspired the people of Turkey, so they defended their democracy and were able to break the coup and achieve progress. Turkey became a global power building an economy based on industry, knowledge, creativity and planning for the future, not on loans.

The Turkish experience can inspire peoples and set a successful model before them. Therefore, the forces of Arab tyranny supported the coup in Turkey, but they were disappointed, and the Turkish people frustrated their plan.

But there is an important result whose impact may appear soon, which is that all peoples will see the facts clearly, and will rise up in defense of their right to life, freedom, democracy and progress. Will the people of Tunisia lead the nation’s struggle once again against tyranny and tyranny and begin a new stage of the struggle in defense of their freedom?

There is a weak hope that President Qais Saeed will retract these decisions after knowing that the forces of colonialism and tyranny that pushed him want to bring him down after using him to abort his people’s hopes for freedom and democracy. And he can think of gathering and uniting the forces of his people, and conducting a free discussion to strengthen the Tunisian democratic experience, instead of achieving the goals of France, America and the Arab tyrants, and he knows what can happen to him after that.

As for the Tunisian secular parties, their fate will not be better than the Egyptian parties that called in the army to overthrow democracy.

Defending the freedom of peoples and the struggle for independence is an honor and glory worthy of only those who have the courage and adhere to principles and preserve them, and the nation needs a leadership based on principles, knowledge and morals, that leads its people to change the grim reality.
