Tunis

Tunisian police fired tear gas to disperse rare protests in the capital Tunis and the southern town of Jebiniana this week, triggered by the deaths of two men in incidents involving security forces. The unrest signals growing public anger over police conduct and the country's worsening economic and political situation.

Unemployed university graduates in Tunisia have marched roughly 300km from the central town of Menzel Bouzaiane to the capital Tunis in a "Dignity March" demanding jobs and the implementation of legislation intended to provide a clear path to public-sector employment, as the country’s economic crisis deepens.
