Tunisia: Four arrested for hoisting wrong flag on public building

Recently in Tunisia, a major blunder occurred when the red-and-white Turkish flag was mistakenly raised instead of the Tunisian flag at the national railway company headquarters. This mistake led to the arrest of four individuals, causing a stir before the upcoming presidential election on October 6. The company quickly apologized and removed the incorrect flag, attributing the error to a group order mix-up.

Amidst the confusion, the stark similarities between the Tunisian and Turkish flags, both featuring a star and crescent moon, became apparent. The incident sparked debates on social media, with some questioning the competence of those involved.

Interestingly, this is not the first time flag-related controversies have arisen in Tunisia. A previous incident where the Tunisian flag was covered during a swimming competition due to non-compliance with anti-doping regulations caused uproar and ended with the president stepping in to correct the situation.

As Tunisia gears up for the election, such incidents highlight the political tension and complexities within the country. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis as the situation unfolds.
