Different narratives are revolving around the Tunisian president\u2019s dismissal of the prime minister and the suspension of the parliament in Tunisia. The move of president Kais Saied to freeze the parliament and dismiss the prime minister has raised questions of how Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt have been involved in the Tunisian president\u2019s decision. Professional media analysts point to what appears to be state-organized \u201cmanipulation campaigns\u201d on Twitter (with account location footprint identifying Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE) as evidence that foreign Arab governments are advising and aiding Saied in his actions, especially as Saied himself is inexperienced in subverting democracy. While the president\u2019s narrative is that he is responding to the demand of the popular protests in the country, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt have shown support for Saied\u2019s power-grab. For them, the president\u2019s move is to curtail and make an end to the Islamist\u2019s\u2014Ennahda party\u2014influence. Though they diverge in many crucial points in their foreign policies, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt all converge to stifle democratic movements, which include Islamists, from being in politics.\u00a0 Though Ennahda long ago disavowed any connections with the Muslim Brotherhood, newspapers and social activists in the three Arab countries yet portray the president\u2019s move as a brave decision against the \u201clast Brotherhood stronghold in the region\u201d. But it is the president\u2019s decision that is causing \u201cthe paralysis of political life\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
