Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi Dies at 92

Tunisia's President Beni Caid Essebsi has died at the Tunis military hospital, the office of the presidency has announced, Aljazeera reports.

The 92-year-old was hospitalised with a severe illness in late June, but returned to intensive care on Thursday, his son said.

Earlier, Hafedh Caid Essebsi told AFP news agency that "things are not going well".

The nonagenarian was the oldest head of state after Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.

He was due to step down at the end of his term in November.
