Appoint the Tunisian president Kais SaiedOn Friday evening, the governor of Tunisia, Kamal al-Feki, is appointed as the new Minister of the Interior.
This came hours after Tawfiq Sharaf al-Din announced his resignation from the post, nearly two years after he supervised the ministry.
Sharaf El-Din said, in media statements, on the sidelines of his supervision of the graduation of the 73rd course for non-commissioned officers of the National Guard, that Saeed accepted his resignation.
Personal reasons
He also added that “the secretariat brought me to the Ministry of Interior, and the secretariat is now also bringing me to relieve myself of this responsibility, because another secretariat called for me.”
In addition, he did not talk about the reasons for his resignation, but hinted that they were personal reasons.
Months ago, he lost his wife, who died of injuries sustained in a gas explosion accident at home.

Confidant of the President
It is noteworthy that Tawfiq Charafeddine was an important member of the current government, as he leads one of the country’s most important ministries, and he is from Saied’s close circle and one of his most prominent supporters, as he had previously supervised his campaign management in Sousse governorate during the 2019 presidential elections.
The last meeting between him and Saeed was last Wednesday, where they discussed the general situation in the country and the role assigned to the security forces in imposing respect for the law on everyone. They also touched on the issue of addressing the phenomenon of monopoly and illegal speculation.
It is noteworthy that the resignation of Sharaf al-Din is the fifth change in the government Najla Boden This year, after changing the ministers of foreign affairs, trade, education and agriculture.
