On Thursday, the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad issued a decree removing the country's Prime Minister Imad Khamis from his post following deteriorating economic conditions, according to Sky News.
It added that the Al-Assad assigned the current Minister of Public Works and Housing Hussein Arnous as the country's new Prime Minister until the coming parliamentary elections next month.
State media did not give a reason for the sudden move but the country has been in the throes of a deep economic crisis, with the currency plunging to record lows in recent days, aggravating hardships for ordinary Syrians.
