Protests continue over soaring prices
PROTESTS continued in Tunisia today on the seventh anniversary of the “Arab Spring,” despite the government’s offer of relief for the poorest.
The week-long protests over legislation that has led to soaring prices of basic goods mirrored those that ousted former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali on January 14 2011.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), which lent the country £2.2 billion in 2015, ordered Tunis last month to take "urgent action" and "decisive measures" to reduce its spending deficit.
