Tunisia: Police and rioters clash in more job protests

Tunisian police firing tear gas clashed on 21 January, with hundreds of protesters who set fire to a police post and tried to storm local government buildings in several towns, during a third day of rioting over jobs, residents said. At least one policeman has been killed in some of the worst protests in Tunisia since the 2011 uprising that toppled autocrat Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali. That triggered a series of Arab Spring revolts in the region that swept long-serving leaders from power. Jan 22, 2016
