00:00Hello, and welcome to a new episode of your show, What Are the Recommendations?
00:04Today is Thursday, the 3rd of September, 2026.
00:10The 3rd of September, 2026, and also today...
00:18The 21st of Rabi al-Awa.
00:22Something serious happened today. Well, not today. I mean, during the past few hours.
00:27Something serious happened. And I warned about it and said it would happen in special episodes for the members of
00:34this channel.
00:35The channel members know that I have mentioned this topic.
00:40Yeah, if you want to become a channel member, I'll leave the membership link in the first comment below.
00:45Now, let's go to Tunisia.
00:49I'm with you, and let's see what happened in Tunisia, in a city called Almirasi.
00:57Tunisia.
00:59Oh, sorry. The city of Almirsa.
01:02Tunisia. You'll see the video in front of you on the screen.
01:06These people are gathered in front of this big square, in front of one of the malls or one of
01:12the shopping centers.
01:13They're not waiting to buy rice, for example.
01:16People. I mean, they're not standing in this line to buy a basic commodity like rice or bread.
01:22Rice or bread, because that's what you have.
01:24And these people...
01:29A basic food item, yes.
01:31In case there was a shortage of food or austerity,
01:36rice and bread remain essentials that people try to keep on hand as much as possible.
01:44People who try to keep them at home.
01:46But this is neither rice nor bread.
01:48People are gathering in such large numbers to buy water.
01:54To buy mineral water or bottles of mineral water.
01:57This is a very long line.
01:59So what happened in Tunisia, everyone?
02:03I have warned before.
02:06I have warned before.
02:12There's a water problem in Tunisia, in the city of Almirsa.
02:19Tunisia, Tunisia, like some other cities, is suffering from a severe problem and a serious shortage.
02:29With water, because of the general drought crisis affecting Tunisia and the water rationing system,
02:37which is applied to the entire Tunisian capital, or now in Tunisia they call it the Greater Tunis region,
02:44which includes the Tunisian capital and the surrounding cities.
02:50So what happened and why is there this austerity crisis?
02:55Because the dams or the water levels in the dams have reached a certain point.
03:00It has reached very critical levels.
03:02People, there is no water.
03:05So the authorities in Tunisia or the Tunisian government were forced to cut off water to people during the evening
03:12hours.
03:12From the evening until six in the morning, there are water cuts happening.
03:19And even this water, I mean, during the period when the water comes, it's not 100% safe to drink.
03:26It might be murky or something like that.
03:30People gather and stand in lines to get mineral water.
03:37Of course, water consumption increases in the summer, one way or another.
03:41But this is the first year we're seeing Tunisia like this.
03:45These huge lines.
03:46I mean, it's a big crowd of people just to buy a bottle of water to drink.
03:52The dams have dropped dramatically.
03:54The water level in the dams has decreased drastically.
03:56And it's been taken away from us, everyone.
03:59And I mentioned it to the members.
04:01I mean, there are agreements that have been reached, and you know about them.
04:04There are some serious things I can't talk about here.
04:10The upcoming wars will be wars over water.
04:15For countries, water security has become more important than food security.
04:22Yes, water security is more important than food security.
04:27Countries and governments, each country needs to see where its priorities should be directed on this issue.
04:37Not only should they study how to maintain food security for their people,
04:42but also look at the level of water security their people have.
04:46I don't want to say more than that.
04:49That was everything.
04:50I came here with you, at least here.
04:52If you want to join the channel membership,
04:53Patrick will leave the membership link below in the first comment.
04:56That was everything.
04:56I was here with you, Hamdallah Ahmad al-Dara.
04:58And again, the presenter of the Masai program.
05:00Stay tuned and subscribe.
