Majaji nchini Tunisia wanatarajiwa kugoma kwa muda wa wiki moja na kufanya maandamano ya kupinga hatua ya rais kuwafuta kazi wenzao 57.
Rais Kais Saied aliwafukuza kazi majaji 57 wiki hii baada ya kuwashutumu kwa ufisadi na kuwalinda magaidi, na pia mnamo mwezi Februari alivunja Baraza Kuu la Mahakama nchini humo.

Judges in Tunisia are to strike for a week and stage sit-in protests against the president’s firing of dozens of their colleagues.
President Kais Saied dismissed 57 judges this week after accusing them of corruption and protecting terrorists, in his latest step to consolidate his grip on power.
In February he dissolved the Supreme Judicial Council which regulated judicial independence.
He had previously suspended parliament and sacked the government.
President Saied plans to hold a referendum next month on a replacement constitution, a move opposed by most of Tunisia’s political parties.
