Tunisia’s President Kais Saied has been inaugurated for a second term, following a crackdown against his political opponents, including a string of arrests.

Weeks after winning re-election with a 90.7% share of the vote, the 66-year-old former law professor called for a “cultural revolution” to combat unemployment, fight terrorism and root out corruption.
