In the same context, protesters stormed the "Ennahda" Movement's headquarters in Mahdia, southern Tunisia, burning all stored documents.

According to our correspondent, tear gas was fired near the central headquarters of the "Ennahda" Movement, in the capital's center. 

Simultaneously, the Tunisian presidency called on the people to "be vigilant and don't slip under the advocates of chaos."

It is noteworthy that the presidency announced dismissing Prime Minister Hishem al-Mashishi and suspending the Parliament and its powers for 30 days. 

The Assembly of the Representatives of the People was surrounded by army units, as Tunisian Prime Minister Hishem al-Mashishi left the Carthage Presidential Palace.

The Tunisian army had earlier prevented Parliament Speaker Rached Ghannouchi, his deputy, and several deputies from entering the parliament building. This comes amid army deployment in the premises of the building.

In the meantime, sources confirmed to Al Mayadeen that all representatives and state officials were prevented from traveling upon President Said's decision.

A member of the Tunisian Parliament and a leader in the "Ennahda" Movement, Muhammad Al-Qumani, told Al Mayadeen that the Parliament is called to convene today, describing the situation in Tunisia as a "coup."

Earlier yesterday, the "Ennahda" Movement held a press conference to discuss Sunday's events in Tunisia. The Movement's leader, Ali al-Arayedh, said, "We have restrained ourselves from responding to violence with violence, and will rely on our state institutions."
