TATAOUINE, 13 February, 2021 (TON): On Friday, agitated over un-kept government’s promises to provide work and investment, dozens of Tunisian youth blocked roads in southern Tataouine.

Last year in November, administration of the PM Hichem Mechichi pledged for hundreds of jobs and a fund to launch economic projects in Tataouine

In November last year, after talks with union leaders and protesters after a months-long blockade of an oil installation, the administration of Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi pledged to create hundreds of jobs and a fund to launch economic projects in Tataouine.

Three months later, the protest movement launched further demonstrations, saying concrete measures had not materialized.

On Friday, some protesters burned tires and chanted slogans while others made businesses and institutions shut and take part in the demonstration, which has been criticized by some residents.

However, the recent protests sparked as the President Kias Saied proposed the cabinet reshuffle.
