Ben Gardane went on strike on Wednesday in protest at a decision by Libyan authorities late last month to halt cross-border trade on which its economy depends. Shops and offices in the town of 60,000 inhabitants were all closed in response to the one-day strike called by the UGTT main trade union confederation. Despite the oppressive heat, hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the union offices in Ben Guerdane but a planned march failed to take place. Several tyres were earlier set alight on the town's streets but there was no intervention by the large number of police present. |
