Tunisia is not back to peace yet



Crisis in Tunisia is not over yet. After a couple of months of rebellion and protests for democracy, the situation is very difficult again.

Protests are rising in Tunis and violent events took place last Friday. Police decided to use teargas and batons against anti-government protesters. Scenes of rough clashes were seen in the streets of Tunis.

Tunisia's government decided to reinstate an emergency night-time curfew for Tunis and its surroundings.
