| [MAGHAREBIA] Tunisia's political parties chose Industry Minister Mehdi Jomaa on Saturday (December 14th) to head a government of technocrats aimed at pulling the country out of a months-long crisis, AFP reported. The 51-year-old Jomaa has 15 days to form a cabinet of independents that will lead the country until parliamentary elections can be held next year. As a first reaction to his selection, Jomaa commented on his official Facebook page, saying, "The new government will see the light in a matter of no more than a week and young people will have the lion's share in it." |
