Thousands of protesters gathered outside Tunisia’s national assembly on Saturday demanding the ouster of the Islamist-led government, amid political deadlock a month after the assassination of an opposition MP.

This is the first day in a week-long demonstration held by the National Salvation Front. NSF expected that the demonstration will ignite a wave of protest across the country to bring down the government. Tens of thousands of Tunisians have turned out for similar anti-government demonstrations twice already this month.

The opposition accuses Ennahda Party of failing to rein in Tunisia’s hardline Salafist movement, who are blamed for murdering prominent politicians. Ennahda has also been accused of misleading the economy and failing to improve living standards
