Curfew Clamped on Kasserine in Tunisia
(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) A curfew was clamped on Tunisia's western city of Kasserine, near the border with Algeria, the Tunisian Interior Ministry announced today.
Kasserine, for the third day running, has been the scene of protests led by young men demanding job opportunities and improvement of living conditions.
Clashes between protesters demanding jobs and Tunisian police escalated in the city of Kasserine, the capital of the province, on Tuesday, Tunisia's state news agency (TAP) reported.
A curfew from 6pm to 5am local time has been imposed in the city, TAP said. Ridha Yahyaoui, a young job-seeker, committed suicide in Kasserine on Sunday after he found out his name was taken from a government pool of potential public employees.
Yahyaoui climbed a utility pole where he threatened to self-immolate. Yahyaoui then came in contact with the cables the pole was carrying and was electrocuted.
