Tunisia's new premier Mehdi Jomaa
took office on Friday to lead a caretaker government until elections
this year, the state news agency said, after the ruling Islamist party
resigned in a deal to complete a transition to democracy.
Jomaa
will head a non-partisan cabinet appointed after compromise between the
Islamists and secular opponents to end months of crisis three years
after Tunisia's uprising against autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali.
