		</div><p>Tunisia got a new government after more than two months without one, with the prime minister naming her Cabinet, including a record number of women.</p>
<p>The ministerial appointments announced by prime minister Najla Bouden filled a vacuum that had persisted since President Kais Saied abruptly dismissed his former cabinet and suspended parliament 11 weeks ago, concentrating all executive powers.</p>
<p>His critics and constitutional lawyers have likened his actions to a coup.</p>
<p>Ms Bouden, named September 29 by Mr Saied as Tunisia’s first female prime minister, said during the swearing-in ceremony of her new ministers that their main priority would be fighting corruption.</p>
<p>The new cabinet has an unprecedented 10 women, including the prime minister.</p>
<p>They include Leila Jaffel, new at the Ministry of Justice, and Sihem Boughdiri Nemseya, reappointed as finance minister.</p>
<p>Mr Saied had previously promised a new government for July.</p>
<p>But he then partially suspended the constitution on September 22 and gave himself the power to rule by decree.</p>
<p>He has argued that pandemic-hit Tunisia is in crisis and that the measures are temporary.</p>
<p>Protests for and against Mr Saied have attracted thousands of people in recent weeks.</p>
<p>Mr Saied said on Monday the temporary measures “will remain in force for as long as the peril is real”.</p>
