Tunis, Tunisia – Systemic change is required to tackle Tunisia’s economic crisis, level the playing field and support entrepreneurial Tunisians, small businesses have told Al Jazeera, as the country faces a tumultuous period following the approval of the country’s new constitution in a July 25 referendum.
The 2011 revolution ended Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s kleptocratic dictatorship but when Kais Saied was elected president in 2019 on an anti-corruption ticket, promising to champion Tunisians, the country was still facing profound economic problems.
