Tunisian President Kais Saied dismissed Minister of Religious Affairs Ibrahim Al-Shaybi on Friday following widespread criticism after the deaths and disappearances of dozens of Tunisians during this year's Hajj season. At least 49 Tunisian pilgrims died due to extreme heat, while families are still searching for missing relatives. The deaths triggered intense outrage among Tunisians, especially after the ministry's page published hundreds of photos of the minister taking selfies with the pilgrims while Tunisian families faced difficult times.
