Tunisian President pulls the rug from under Ennahdha.. What is the relation of Qatar?

Tunisian President Kais Saied has resorted to what is described as bold decisions when he sacked Hisham Al-Mashaichi, the head of government charged with managing the affairs of the Ministry of Interior, Ibrahim Al-Bertaji, minister of national defense, and Hasna Ben Suleiman, minister in charge of the government in charge of public functions and acting minister of justice, as well as a one-month suspension of parliament’s activities, starting on Sunday.

According to political analysts, these exceptional decisions came as a result of the political clash between the Tunisian president and the Ennahdha Party, the arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Tunisia, because of its persistence and intransigence in sticking to the government of Al-Mashaichi, despite the latter’s opposition to Kais Saied’s directive to change names in the government accused of corruption.

In spite of Qais Said’s denial, Ennahdha, led by Rachid Ghannouchi, clung to its positions in support of Al-Mashaichi, who maintained his position in appointing and dismissing security leaders. There was a dispute between the three legislative and executive authorities in interpreting the constitution, especially with regard to the dissolution of parliament, in spite of the absence of the Constitutional Court to rule on the interpretations of the constitution.

Kais Saied’s recent decisions also came through the support of the Tunisian street, which was mobilized in mass demonstrations and protesters burned the headquarters of Ennahdha in Tunisia, which led the latter to accuse the demonstrators of being motivated by internal and external sides, and did not care for Ghannouchi, who decided to sit in his luxury car in front of the Tunisian parliament.

Ghannouchi is not alone. The decisions of Kais Saied have angered the Qatari regime, which is considered the main supporter and supporter of Ennahdha as the arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Tunisia. Doha decided to withdraw the presidency of the International Association of Constitutional Jurists from the Tunisian president after it had given it to him when it was established last year.

Qatar was known to have supported Ennahdha for years, especially during the so-called Arab Spring, until it came to power, but the Brotherhood failed to run the country and nothing was achieved for the Tunisian citizen.
