Tunisia president chooses new prime minister amid hopes of ending political crisis
2020-07-26
[Al Ahram] Tunisian President Kais Saied on Saturday designated the interior minister as the new prime minister to succeed Elyes Fakhfakh, who resigned over allegations of a conflict of interest, the state news agency said.
... and if you can't believe the state news agency who can you believe?
New premier Hichem Mechichi, an independent, now has a month to form a government capable of winning a confidence vote in parliament by a simple majority, or the president will dissolve parliament and call for another election with urgent economic decisions hanging over Tunisia.
When the party of the second part is the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, it doesn’t end until the train reaches their preferred station.
