Tunisia unveils new cabinet

Tunisia’s prime minister-designate, Hichem Mechichi, has unveiled a new government made up of technocrats rather than members of political parties.

This is the second cabinet to be named in six months in Tunisia.

Mr Mechichi had previously said he wanted a cabinet made up of independent technocrats to present urgent solutions to the country.

Mr Mechichi is an independent who was appointed by President Kais Saied last month.
