Hanène Tajouri Bessassi, Tunisia’s ambassador in Washington for the last three and a half years, is leaving at the end of July. She arrived in October 2021, just as the pandemic was winding down, and witnessed not only Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but also catastrophic flooding in Libya, a horrific civil war in Sudan, an explosion of violence between Israel and Hamas—and, of course, Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
