Tunisian President Replaces Prime Minister Amid Ongoing Political and Economic Crises

HeadlineAug 03, 2023

In Tunisia, President Kais Saied has dismissed the prime minister, appointing former central bank executive Ahmed al-Hachani as a replacement. Al-Hachani faces a spiraling economic crisis and public anger over President Saied’s policies and what has been deemed an executive coup. Many Tunisian citizens expressed indifference at the sudden change in leadership.

Mouhamad Amine Elayer: “I no longer pay much attention to the change of ministers. Every four or five months, you hear about a new minister and an outgoing minister, and their appointments announced on a Facebook page.”
