The Baháʼí Faith in Tunisia begins circa 1910[1] when the first Baháʼí arrives, possibly from Egypt.[2][3] In 1956, at Ridván, a marked holy day of the religion and a day on which major elections are held, three new Regional Spiritual Assemblies were established including that of North-West Africa with the chairmanship of Enoch Olinga[4][5] In 1963, a survey of the community counted 1 assembly and 18 organized groups (between 1 and 9 adults) of Baháʼís in Tunisia.[6] US State Department 2001 estimates mention the Baháʼí community at about 150 persons.[7] However, Association of Religion Data Archives and several other sources point to over 1000 Baháʼís in the country.[8][2][9]
