The Tunisian president has fired the country’s prime minister and suspended parliament.
The government has not taken appropriate action in the face of the rapid spread of the Covid virus, prompting mass protests.
The Tunisian president said he hoped to appoint a new prime minister once the unrest in the country subsided.
However, some parties called the President’s decision a conspiracy.
The Tunisian police have been attacked by the Tunisian police and several persons have been arrested.
