Tunisia

After being denied legal status because the group contradicts democratic values and seeks to establish a caliphate, Tunisia’s Hezbollah has filed an application for a license under a new name, Hezb al-Oumma, and promised to stop promoting a caliphate. Party leader Seifeddine Laajili, a media professional, claimed that the group has “nothing to do with Lebanon’s Hezbollah,” and that it is just “a party that seeks to unify religious sects in Tunisia and outside it to promote love.” Tunisian authorities allegedly have already approved over 150 new political parties.
