In Tunisia, president declares ‘war’ on food profiteering
TUNIS -
Tunisian President Kais Saied declared war Wednesday on food speculators amid a shortage of products such as wheat and semolina, key staples in a country already mired in a political-economic crisis.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has threatened supplies of basic foodstuffs, particularly wheat, which many Arab countries chiefly import from the two eastern European nations.
