Description |
Skirmishes erupted between protesters and police officers who sought to end a sit-in staged by youths from the locality of Garaa, Ksar Guilane, in northern Douz. During the police intervention, agents arrested several participants to the sit-in who protested from a few days outside the HQ of an oil company to demand more jobs. Following the arrests, the angered youths reacted by setting tyres on fires and erecting roadblocks; in response to these actions, the police fired teargas to disperse the demonstrators. |
