Hatem Sa\u00efed\u2026 The Name That Must Not Be Spoken: Why Does Ka\u00efs Hide His Brother?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While Tunisia is facing deep political and economic turmoil, questions are mounting around President Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed\u2014not just about his political choices, but also about his private life and family. The mystery surrounding his brother Hatem Sa\u00efed and his sister Rim fuels growing public curiosity and controversy. Why the deliberate silence around members of the presidential family? What is Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed hiding from his people? This article seeks to analyze this opacity in connection with the current political situation, the role of political parties, and the possible impact of the presidential family on the national stage.<\/p>\n

Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed’s Family Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to an article by Farida Dhamani, published in Jeune Afrique<\/em> on February 28, 2024<\/a>, Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed\u2019s father, Mansaf Sa\u00efed, was a civil servant at the Ministry of Finance and placed great importance on the education of his children. All four siblings\u2014Ka\u00efs, Noufel, Hatem, and Rim\u2014graduated from the Sadiki College, one of Tunisia\u2019s most prestigious institutions. The father insisted that his children study law. Ka\u00efs and Noufel followed this path, while Rim chose science. However, no verifiable information exists about Hatem\u2019s academic or professional life, which raises questions about his conspicuous absence.<\/p>\n

Who Is Hatem Sa\u00efed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hatem Sa\u00efed is the mysterious brother of the president. Unlike Noufel, who is publicly active in politics, there is no verifiable information about Hatem: no photos, no interviews, no public appearances. Rumors suggest he may have left Tunisia in the 1980s under unknown circumstances, but nothing has been confirmed. His complete disappearance is striking. Is it a personal decision? Or a strategic move by the president to keep him hidden?<\/p>\n

Rim Sa\u00efed: The Forgotten Sister<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like Hatem, Rim remains out of the public eye. Aside from her academic background in science, nothing is known about her current role or influence in society. This silence strengthens the impression that Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed deliberately keeps her out of political affairs. Is it her own choice to protect her privacy, or a form of enforced invisibility by the president?<\/p>\n

Tunisia\u2019s Political Situation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed\u2019s rise to power in 2019, Tunisia has experienced growing instability. Following his power grab on July 25, 2021\u2014suspending parliament, drafting a new constitution that grants him absolute power, dismissing the government, abolishing the Constitutional Court, and enacting Decree 54 in 2022\u2014accusations of authoritarianism have escalated. Political parties speak of a severe regression of democracy, while his supporters see him as a reformer returning power to the people.<\/p>\n

The Role of Noufel Sa\u00efed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Noufel, the president\u2019s brother, plays a central role. A professor of constitutional law, he was highly influential during Ka\u00efs\u2019s presidential campaign and helped select his advisers. Opponents see him as the true mastermind behind the presidency, with some alleging he governs behind the scenes along with the military and security services.<\/p>\n

A Weakened President?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In political circles, whispers abound that Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed is either psychologically isolated or incapable of making decisions on his own. The opposition points to signs of erratic behavior to question his legitimacy. His speeches are increasingly viewed as hysterical and disconnected from reality, reinforcing this image.<\/p>\n

A Tunisia on the Brink<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tunisia\u2019s socio-economic situation is deteriorating: inflation, unemployment, shortages of basic goods. Despair is spreading among the population, which has lost trust in both the political parties and the state. Protests, like the recent one in Mazzouna, reflect public anger. Citizens, disillusioned with the political class, are seeking individual solutions far from politics.<\/p>\n

An Algerian Mafia Behind Tunisia\u2019s Power?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some analysts claim Tunisia is now under the influence of a power network that serves the Algerian military, which is exploiting Tunisia\u2019s fragility to expand its influence. They point to Algerian interference aimed at sabotaging Tunisia\u2019s democratic experience since the fall of Ben Ali on January 14, 2011.<\/p>\n

There are serious accusations against Algeria, including orchestrating attacks to derail Tunisia\u2019s democratic transition or infiltrating institutions through former Ben Ali regime agents. The goal would be to bring Tunisia back under Algerian sway, essentially turning it into a de facto province, and to prevent democratic contagion from reaching Algeria.<\/p>\n

The Case of Algerian Dissident Amir Boukhors (aka \u201cAmir DZ\u201d)<\/strong>, who was abducted in April 2024 in France by agents disguised as French police officers, supports this theory. The investigation revealed involvement of individuals linked to an Algerian consulate. If Algeria can act with such impunity in France, what might it be doing in Tunisia?<\/p>\n

An Algerian Project Behind Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some believe Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed\u2019s rise to power is part of an Algerian plan to restore dictatorship in Tunisia under military supervision. The aim: to suppress Algerian democratic ambitions and reinforce Algerian geopolitical dominance in North Africa, especially in opposition to Morocco, by turning Tunisia into a political satellite.<\/p>\n

The Role of Political Parties<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Divided, weakened, and largely decapitated, Tunisia\u2019s political parties have failed to offer a credible alternative. Ennahdha, once powerful, has seen its leaders imprisoned or exiled. The Democratic Current and the Free Destourian Party have tried to fill the void but haven\u2019t succeeded in rallying enough support. The absence of a clear strategy has only strengthened presidential power, which now leans heavily on the military and judiciary.<\/p>\n

With civil society suppressed, opposition figures jailed, business leaders accused of funding protests, and all dissenting voices silenced via Decree 54, political space is all but closed. Some political prisoners have even taken their own lives.<\/p>\n

Why Investigate Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed\u2019s Family?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Understanding Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed\u2019s inner circle is key to decoding the power structure in Tunisia. Who is this president, whom some consider unhinged? What is the source of his legitimacy? Who is truly pulling the strings? What roles do the intelligence services and military play? And how independent is Tunisia from Algerian influence?<\/p>\n

These are all legitimate questions Tunisians are asking in their search for truth\u2014a truth still hidden. On the day this system collapses, light may finally be shed.<\/p>\n

The Tunisian people deserve truth, freedom, and justice. Under Ka\u00efs Sa\u00efed, Tunisia has hit rock bottom. It is time for every free Tunisian\u2014whether citizen, soldier, or entrepreneur\u2014to put aside their differences and join forces to bring Tunisia back to a democratic path.<\/p>\n

The mystery surrounding figures like Hatem and Rim Sa\u00efed is merely a symptom of a broader lack of transparency. And with a president seen as weak and under the control of Noufel, despair is growing. The media blackout around the presidential family raises serious questions about governance and transparency.<\/p>\n

If you have information about Hatem, Rim, or other members of the president\u2019s inner circle, speak up.
The truth may be the first step toward Tunisia\u2019s liberation.<\/strong><\/p>\n
