Tunisia unions call for president to form new government

UGTT union body urges president, Kais Saied, to form government, nearly two weeks after he sacked PM

Tunisia's powerful UGTT trade union body has urged the country's president, Kais Saied, to form a new government, nearly two weeks after he assumed executive power and sacked the prime minister.

Saied also suspended parliament for 30 days on 25 July, and has since dismissed four ministers and other top officials.
