Tunisia’s Leadership Change: President Sacks Prime Minister
On March 20, 2025, Tunisian President Kais Saied dismissed Prime Minister Kamel Maddouri, who had been in office for less than a year. This marks the third prime ministerial dismissal in under two years, reflecting ongoing political instability in Tunisia.
The dismissal comes amid escalating economic challenges and a significant influx of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa. President Saied appointed Sara Zaafarani, an engineer and former Minister of Equipment and Housing, as the new prime minister.
Tunisia has been grappling with a faltering economy, characterized by high inflation, unemployment, and public debt. The political upheaval adds to concerns about the country’s ability to implement necessary reforms and address pressing socio-economic issues.
This latest political shift underscores the deepening crisis in Tunisia, as the nation strives to navigate through economic hardships and social challenges.
