Tunisian President Kais Saied attended the Tree Day celebrations in the city of Barqou in Silyana governorate, where he planted trees in areas that were damaged by fires during the summer. The president emphasized that the recent fires and water shortages were not coincidental, and that the judiciary would determine the responsibilities of those involved.
President Saied stressed that those who committed crimes and were enemies of the nation would face the consequences, stating that the process was planned and acknowledged by some individuals who attempted to burn the country. However, he assured that they would not succeed in their goals because the Tunisian people would always stand against them.
The president believed that the continuation of these practices, along with the crises of thirst, fires, and rising prices, reflected attempts by remnants of the previous system to regain influence. Nevertheless, these attempts were met with the awareness and understanding of the Tunisian people, who were determined to move forward.
President Saied called on all individuals working in the state to exert maximum effort and consider themselves soldiers on the front lines of serving citizens and alleviating their difficulties. He emphasized the need for studies, statistics, and tangible work on the ground to provide the Tunisian citizen with the necessary elements for security and a decent life.
The president highlighted the importance of awareness among officials, who must prioritize serving the people and working for Tunisia with perseverance. He recalled the sacrifices made by those who fought for the country's independence and freedom, ensuring that the Tunisian people would continue their national liberation until their aspirations were achieved.
President Saied also visited the Sidi Amer primary school in Silyana, which was recently awarded the title of "excellent school" at the Arab level. He praised the school's achievements despite limited resources, emphasizing that excellence was not measured by the size of available resources but by determination, willpower, and faith.
During his meeting with citizens, President Saied reiterated that the national liberation battle was ongoing, and that the scheduled arrangements and dates would be canceled. He vowed to confront those who sought to disrupt the country and promised that the Tunisian people would not forget those who had harmed the nation.
