Tunisia has a new prime minister: Najla Boudin Romdhane - a geologist with little political experience, and the first woman in the country and the Arab world to hold the position.
President Kais Saied has tasked her with forming a government, two months after he took on executive powers and sacked the previous administration.
She reports directly to Saied and her appointment comes as Tunisia faces enormous economic challenges, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
