Description
Tunisia's President Kais Saied appointed a new government by decree, 11 weeks after he fired the last one.
Nicknamed "Robocop" because of his abrupt, staccato speech, 63-year-old law professor Kais Saied is a conservative academic and political neophyte who won the Tunisian Presidency elections with an overwhelming support from younger voters in an October 2019 runoff. Saied suspended the country's parliament and dismissed its Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi in July following an emergency meeting at his palace after thousands of Tunisians marched in several cities protesting about government failures in the North African nation and crippling coronavirus rates.
