So tell me about these protests.

What's been going on?

And just for a brief bit of background for our listeners, he was really popular among Tunisians when he was elected in 2019, which was after a chaotic decade of democratic transition for the country.

voice-verified
So Tunisians welcomed his crackdown if it meant that their economic well-being would get better.

And given that anger, Heba, what is likely to happen from here?
voice-verified
What can we expect?
