NNA - Tunisian President Kais Saied has dismissed prime minister Kamel Madouri, his office said, as the North African country grapples with major economic issues.

Madouri, a technocrat appointed last August as part of a cabinet reshuffle, was replaced by Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri, the former minister of public works, the presidency said in a statement released late Thursday.--AFP
