New American Policy: “If We Lose Against the Big Powers (Russia, China), We Will Target the Small Sovereign States
The Safeguarding #Tunisian #Democracy Act, introduced in 2023 by #Senators Jim #Risch ( #Republican) and Bob #Menendez ( #Democrat), conditions part of #U.S. aid to #Tunisia on concrete #democratic progress. It allocates an annual fund of $100 million for 2024 and 2025, intended to support Tunisian institutions, but to be released only if genuine progress is certified by the U.S. Secretary of State. In addition, 25% of the usual #American aid is withheld as long as the state of emergency declared in 2021 remains in place. Since 2022, no significant disbursements have been made, according to the U.S. administration.
Historically, this aid was meant to combat #terrorism and stimulate the Tunisian #economy for the benefit of its citizens, not to sustain a #political regime. Today, however, the application of sanctions reflects a U.S. intent to punish Tunisians for their #democratic choices, undermining vital security cooperation in an unstable region. At the same time, the United States seeks to reduce its economic dependencies, as shown by a 25% tariff imposed in 2025 on Tunisian imports. The broader aim of American aid is also to reduce, cap, and ration its disbursement.
Behind this legislation lie American strategic interests, particularly within the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, seeking to maintain and expand U.S. influence in North #Africa and the Middle East. Senator Risch, a strong proponent of interventionist foreign policy, views the conditional promotion of democracy as a tool to counter competition from #Russia and #China.
Although officially presented as support for democracy, this initiative is widely perceived as political pressure, designed to exert indirect control over Tunisia, especially since President Kaïs Saïed’s power grab in 2021. In practice, these senators act as spokesmen for a broader strategic policy of control under the guise of democratic support.

Speaking out after his arrest on Tuesday, Newark mayor
Ras #Baraka said his city would continue its fight in court against the company that runs an immigration detention facility in New Jersey.
“I know there are some protests that other people are planning, and if I feel obligated to be there, I will,”
Baraka told the Rev Al Sharpton on MSNBC Saturday afternoon.
“This doesn’t stop the city’s contention with the Geo Group, and we’re going to continue in court with them.”Baraka was arrested Tuesday morning after joining three members of Congress at a protest and press conference outside a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facility located in Newark known as Delaney Hall.
He was arrested by homeland security agents and taken into custody at a separate facility in Newark.
The mayor was released about five hours later and charged with trespassing.Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN Saturday morning that
“there will be more arrests coming” after the protest at the facility,
saying that the arrests of the three Democratic members of Congress who were there
– Bonnie Watson #Coleman, Rob #Menendez and LaMonica #McIver
– are “on the table”.Newark sued Geo Group after the company won a 15-year $1bn contract with Ice to run Delaney Hall -- saying that the company was renovating the facility without proper permits and that city inspectors had been barred from entering the center.

#Menendez got at least a half-mil out of #Egypt as a Senator (that we know of).
Classic wheeler-dealer Don, only getting $10m and being in the White House.
Very fitting with the #Trump brand. The good news is Egypt was probably wildly unsatisfied with their purchase.
