Tunisians protest in central Sidi Bouzid city against marginalisation and deteriorating conditions following the deaths of 12 female rural workers in a traffic accident
Workers around Tunisia are on strike to demand higher pay in a standoff with a government struggling to tame unemployment, poverty and social tensions, January 17, 2019.
Traffic stopped and schools, hospitals and public offices were closed under a regional strike called by unions in Sidi Bouzid, the birthplace of the Tunisian revolution. Similar incidents have occurred in recent months, fuelling Tunisians anger at the high cost of living, unemployment and the decline of state services since the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.Protesters, including women and youths, in Sidi Bouzid repeated the slogans of the 2011 revolution – "People want to overthrow the regime. We want justice and dignity. Streets and clashes until the regime falls.
"This strike is a support for the victims of this tragedy ... we suffer in Sidi Bouzid from marginalisation and very bad conditions," said Mohamed Azhar Gamoudi, an official in the UGTT union.
