Tunisian President Replaces Prime Minister Amid Ongoing Political and Economic Crises
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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."
