Understanding Tunisia's crisis of democracy

Season 2021 Episode 207 | 5m 58s

Tunisia’s President Kais Saied on Monday suspended parliament indefinitely and fired the country’s defense minister — one day after he unilaterally fired the prime minister. Nick Schifrin reports on moves that critics call a coup — one decade after the Arab Spring — with Sarah Yerkes of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
