President Kais Saied made an unannounced visit to the governorate of Sfax on Saturday. At the beginning of his visit, the president went to the Bab Jebli area in the old city of Sfax, where he was briefed on the situation of a number of irregular migrants from sub-Saharan African countries, TAP's correspondent in the region reported. Saied then went to the governorate headquarters, where he met the first delegate in charge of running the Sfax governorate and a number of regional officials. He also met a number of citizens who had gathered in front of the governorate headquarters to demand the appointment of a governor following the head of state's decision to dismiss Fakher Fakhfakh as governor on 6 January.
