Tunisia's president dismissed the government and froze parliament on Sunday, prompting crowds to fill major cities in support of a move that dramatically escalated a political crisis, but that his opponents called a coup.
President Kais Saied said he would assume executive authority with the assistance of a new prime minister, in the biggest challenge yet to the democratic system Tunisia introduced in a 2011 revolution.
Crowds of people quickly flooded the capital and other cities, cheering and honking car horns in scenes that recalled the revolution, which triggered the Arab Spring protests that convulsed the Middle East.

Après une journée de manifestations de Tunisiens exaspérés par leurs dirigeants, dimanche, le président Kaïs Saïed a annoncé le gel des travaux du Parlement et le limogeage du chef du gouvernement Hichem Mechichi. Le parti islamiste au pouvoir Ennahda a aussitôt condamné un "coup d'État contre la révolution".
