Tunisian municipality removes 300 chaotic erection points in the center of the capital

The Municipal Police Department, the National Security Region and the Tunisian Municipality carried out a wide-ranging field campaign during the night between Thursday 5 and Friday 6 November 2026 in the centre of the Tunisian capital, to resist anarchist demonstrations, clearing of sidewalks and occupation of public spaces. Intermediate units focused their movements on the main streets and vital commercial pillars to facilitate traffic for citizens and pedestrians.

Joint field interventions resulted in the seizure and destruction of nearly 450 forced handcrafts of various sizes that were being used in irregular trade. The participating teams also lifted the load of four large trucks loaded with used clothes and shoes, along with reserving other quantities equivalent to the load of two trucks of various materials that were on display on public roads.

Security and municipal operations included raiding warehouses, assembling railcars and used goods throughout the centre of the capital. Field teams picked up two trucks loaded with wooden, iron and cement beams that were crossing the pavement corridors, with the municipality announcing the removal of nearly 300 black dots and an assault on the common king, as well as bringing two inspected persons to justice.

These moves are part of my ongoing security program aimed at countering the occupation of public spaces, monitoring markets and reorganizing public streets. The actions taken are focused on continuously removing illegal occupations to ensure traffic flow and restore pedestrian pathways after the accumulation of violations at the capital's commercial points.
