Tunisia City … News Time

Young people once again broke the curfew imposed after violent protests in the North African Arab country of Tunisia. According to news agencies, the streets of the Tunisian capital once again became a battlefield between Wednesday and Thursday night. Police fired tear gas during the use of excessive force. Several youths were injured in clashes with police. According to foreign media, the protesters have demanded the release of those arrested. Protests have been going on for several days in Tunisia due to the worst economic situation, while the number of people arrested has exceeded 700. Despite the curfew, the protests have begun for the release of detainees.

Keep in mind that Tunisia’s economic situation has deteriorated. In this situation, the uneasiness of the youth, who are unable to find anything for themselves, is growing nationwide; this has troubled the country’s leadership. Tunisia is the country where the first Arab Spring revolutionary movement began in 2011. One-third of young people in this country are unemployed and many are stagnant. In a country of more than 11 million people, young people have been protesting on the streets for a week now. The protests have spread from the capital to other cities. Authorities are responding strongly to the protests, according to the Associated Press. They fear that the protests, which led to the ouster of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali 10 years ago, will not resume. The number of protesting groups is increasing day by day.
