Tunisian President Kais Saied has dismissed Brahim Chaibi, the Minister of Religious Affairs, following widespread criticism after the deaths of dozens of Tunisians during the Haj pilgrimage. The presidency announced this decision on Friday, June 21, 2024.
At least 49 Tunisians have died due to the extreme heat in Saudi Arabia over the past week. Meanwhile, Tunisian families continue to search for several missing individuals.
