Tunisia’s President Kais Saied replaced his prime minister of almost two years with a little-known figure, injecting fresh uncertainty into a deal that was hashed out by the government to secure a $1.9 billion lifeline from the International Monetary Fund.
Saied appointed Ahmed Hachani after deciding to “end the duties” of Najla Bouden, the Arab world’s first female prime minister, the Tunisian presidency said in a statement on its Facebook page on Tuesday. It didn’t provide reasons for Bouden’s dismissal.
