Mosaïque FM issued a warning on Saturday, April 25, 2026, regarding a fraudulent video circulating on social media. The video, which misuses the station's logo and visual identity, features a falsified sequence showing journalist Anis Morai. He is falsely depicted calling for a donation campaign for a fictional person named Zayneb. Mosaïque FM has formally denied the video's authenticity, stating it is an entirely fabricated montage generated using artificial intelligence technologies. The station highlighted that this content is a deepfake, a technique that manipulates images, voices, or videos with increasing realism, making disinformation difficult for the public to detect. Experts frequently warn about the growing risks associated with these tools, particularly concerning fraud, reputational damage, and opinion manipulation. Mosaïque FM condemned these "fraudulent and unethical" practices, emphasizing the seriousness of media identity theft for scamming purposes. The radio station also stated it reserves the right to pursue legal action against anyone involved in creating or disseminating this content.

Tunisia's 2026 World Cup campaign began with a significant 5-1 loss to Sweden in their Group F match in Monterrey, Mexico. This defeat puts their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 in jeopardy. The result contrasts sharply with Tunisia's strong performance in the qualifiers, where they conceded no goals. Sweden's formidable attacking duo, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres, exposed Tunisia's defensive weaknesses. Yasin Ayari scored Sweden's first goal in the 7th minute, choosing not to celebrate out of respect for his Tunisian heritage. Despite a goal from Omar Rekik for Tunisia, Sweden extended their lead with goals from Isak, Gyökeres, and substitute Mattias Svanberg, before Ayari scored his second in added time. Coach Sabri Lamouchi expressed disappointment, attributing the loss to numerous individual errors and the quality of Sweden's offense. This loss follows a 5-0 friendly defeat to Belgium, meaning Tunisia has conceded ten goals in two matches. In the other Group F match, the Netherlands and Japan drew 2-2, leaving Sweden at the top of the group with three points. Tunisia now faces a challenging path forward, needing strong performances against Japan and the Netherlands to keep their World Cup hopes alive.
The Tunisian Human Rights League LTDH issued a statement on June 14, 2026, calling for the protection of civil peace and warning against the increase of hate speech, discrimination, and stigmatization in Tunisian society. The LTDH expressed deep concern over the growing polarization, division, and social tensions, as well as the proliferation of hate speech, defamation, discrimination, and racism, particularly on social media. The organization believes this trend threatens human dignity, the right to difference and free expression, and weakens the foundations of coexistence and civil peace. The League is particularly worried about the rise in discriminatory discourse targeting certain groups, especially migrants and sub-Saharan African nationals, stating these practices violate principles of equality, non-discrimination, and human dignity. The LTDH attributes this climate, in part, to official discourse, suggesting that statements from "the highest levels of the state" in recent years have fueled exclusion, stigmatization, suspicion, and racism, by portraying civil society actors, political leaders, journalists, and human rights defenders as threats. The organization also criticizes authorities for reinforcing negative perceptions of migrants, linking them to supposed societal risks. The LTDH reminds the state of its responsibility to protect rights and freedoms, strengthen social cohesion, and combat all forms of discrimination. It urges authorities to adopt discourse respec
The Tunisian Organization of Young Doctors OTJM has highlighted a deep financial crisis affecting public hospitals, with delayed payments to young doctors being a symptom of this larger issue. The OTJM reports that public hospitals are owed significant amounts by the National Health Insurance Fund Cnam, estimated at nearly 1,500 million dinars in 2024 and approximately 1,950 million dinars in 2025. Cnam itself faces cash flow difficulties due to outstanding debts from social security funds, including CNSS and CNRPS, creating a vicious cycle within the health sector. Many young doctors have been waiting for their payments for months or even years. OTJM President Wajih Dhakkar noted that hospital directors acknowledge these legitimate claims but lack the necessary liquidity. One director in Tunis reportedly prioritizes essential medical supplies over doctor payments. The OTJM emphasizes that this financial crisis impacts not only young doctors but also health personnel, who work under increasingly difficult conditions, and patients, who face medication shortages, delayed equipment maintenance, deteriorating hospitalization conditions, extended appointment wait times, and a decline in service quality. The organization believes that some hospitals are awaiting over 100 million dinars from Cnam, and settling these debts would quickly improve medication supply, equipment maintenance, staff payments, and overall hospital operations. The OTJM views one-off liquidity injections from t
