Tunisia’s President Kais Saied has sacked several members of his cabinet this week, replacing his defense and foreign ministers as campaigning kicks off for the country’s upcoming presidential election. The reshuffling is far from the first time in which he has fired the ministers who run the country.
TUNIS, Tunisia — Tunisia ’s President Kais Saied has sacked several members of his Cabinet this week, replacing his defense and foreign ministers as campaigning kicks off for the country’s October presidential election.
The latest reshuffling was announced Sunday on the presidency’s Facebook page with little explanation. Saied told his newly appointed ministers that the abrupt changes to Tunisia’s government were necessary to fight corruption and defend national security, Tunisia’s state news agency TAP reported. Both objectives are among those Saied has for years cited to justify his moves to target his critics in government, media and civil society.
