Protests in Tunisia, evocative of Arab Spring days

Another young Tunisian, has killed himself in frustration after being refused a job, inflaming protests through the same impoverished towns that once brought down the regime of Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali. 

Protestors say the unemployment and poverty problems of five years ago still remain. In Kasserine, the impoverished central city where this week’s protests began, more disaffected young men have threatened to kill themselves. Two were injured after trying to throw themselves off the roof of the local government building in fits of anger over the lack of jobs. The unrest has quickly spread to other towns in the north and south of the country and shows no signs of weakening - protesters have stormed police stations and local government offices and killed one policeman.
