Briefly

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told his counterpart Othman Jerandi that Tunisians were expecting such a move, after President Kais Saied sacked more officials, having earlier suspended parliament and assumed executive powers in what opponents have labelled a "coup".
Speaking to Jerandi by phone, Le Drian underlined "the importance of a rapid appointment of a prime minister and the formation of a government that is in a position to meet the expectations of Tunisians", according to a French foreign ministry spokesperson.
He also said it was "necessary to preserve calm, and the rule of law, and to allow a rapid return to a normal functioning of Tunisia's democratic institutions".
