TUNIS, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Tunisian President Kais Saied announced on Tuesday to extend the state of emergency imposed across the country till the end of 2024.

The state of emergency in the entire country "will be extended from Wednesday to Dec. 31, 2024," said the Journal of the Republic of Tunisia, an official biweekly gazette.
