 Tunisian President Kayi Said has appointed the first woman as head of government. The president met Najla Bauden-Ramden and Atashtha was forming a new government. Last month Tunisians were out in force to demonstrate against a power grab by the president. The country faces a looming crisis in public finances after years of economic stagnation and political infighting. The new head of government is a geological engineer with World Bank experience.
