This comes as the second dismissal of a Tunisian government official within a month after Interior Minister Tawfiq Charafeddine was also dismissed and replaced by Kamal.
The statement did not mention the reason behind the dismissal, and the Tunisian government did not comment on the issue either. However, the dismissal could be related to the ongoing political and economic crisis in the country.
Tunisia has been facing political instability and social unrest since the 2011 revolution, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the economic challenges.
The country’s economic challenges have been further compounded by political tensions between President Kais Said and the Parliament. The president’s decision to freeze Parliament, sack the Prime Minister and assume executive authority, led to widespread protests by Tunisians and criticism from the international community.
Tunisia’s government reshuffle has sparked mixed reactions from citizens and political leaders, with some lauding it as a necessary step to address the country’s economic and political challenges, while others criticize it as a violation of the country’s democratic institutions.
The dismissal of the Minister of Industry, Energy, and Mines is likely to have an impact on the country’s energy sector, which has been facing numerous challenges. The sector has been struggling to attract foreign investment, with the government’s focus on renewable energy and attempts to increase transparency and competitiveness.
It remains to be seen what impact this will have on the energy sector and the country’s overall economic prospects.(Agencies)
