On February 17, a demonstration took place in Tunis organized by the Coordination for Joint Action for Palestine and the Tunisian Campaign of Boycott and Opposition to Normalization with the Zionist Entity in which around 200 demonstrators took part.
The demonstration crossed the center of the capital starting from Bab el Khadra and arriving at Avenue Bourghiba, chanting slogans against the Zionist aggression in Gaza and the announced operation against the city of Rafah, on the border with Egypt. Slogans against some imperialist countries that support Israel such as the USA and France accompanied by the sanctioning of a Carrefour supermarket and the French Institute in Tunisia (the French cultural center).
The demonstration arrived on Avenue Bourgouiba, instead of stopping in front of the Municipal Theater (where political demonstrations traditionally take place in the city centre) spontaneously headed a few dozen meters away, towards the French embassy where slogans such as “From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free”, “Stop Genocide”, “Macron assassin”, “Supporting the Resistance is a duty”, “dear Qassam (qassam missile n.d.a.) hit Tel Aviv”, an Israeli flag was set on fire.
The mobilization in Tunisia for Palestine animated by the two committees that began the day after 7 October has never stopped, but after about two months of limited actions or sit-ins in front of the American embassy or other limited places, the movement pro-Palestine now returns to parade through the streets of the capital.
