Mamia ya Wananchi wameandamana katika Mji Mkuu, Tunis kupinga bei ya juu na uhaba wa baadhi ya vyakula na bidhaa Muhimu kama Sukari na hivyo kuzidisha shinikizo kwa serikali ya Rais Kais Saied, huku nchi hiyo ikikumbwa na mzozo wa kiuchumi na kisiasa.
Tunisia inakabiliwa na mfumuko wa bei unaoendelea kwa karibu 9% na uhaba wa bidhaa nyingi za vyakula madukani kwa sababu nchi hiyo haina uwezo wa kulipia baadhi ya bidhaa kutoka nje ya Mipaka yake

Hundreds of Tunisians protested on Sunday night in the capital against poverty, high prices and the shortage of some foodstuff, escalating pressure on the government of President Kais Saied, as the country suffers an economic and political crisis.
Tunisia is struggling to revive its public finances as discontent grows over inflation running at nearly 9% and a shortage of many food items in stores because the country cannot afford to pay for some imports.
The North African nation is also in the midst of a severe political crisis since Saied seized control of the executive power last year and dissolved parliament in a move his opponents called a coup.
In the poor Douar Hicher district in the capital, some protesters lifted loaves of bread in the air. Other chanted, "Where is Kais Saied?". Angry youths burned tires.
Videos on social media from the Douar Hicher district show supermarket customers scuffling over packets of sugar.
In the Mornag suburb, young men blocked roads, protesting the suicide of a young man who his family says hanged himself, after municipal police harassed him and seized a weighing machine when he was selling fruit in the street without permission.
