Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

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.”
