Tunisian President Urges Calm As Protesters Remain Defiant

The Tunisian president has urged protesters to desist from vandalizing private and public properties.

It comes after a fourth consecutive day of protests across the country. Protesters are battling against social and economic crisis.

Tunisians are disappointed about high unemployment rate. The financial crisis in the North African nation has also angered locals. That’s why they have been protesting since last Friday.

Officials said more than 600 people have been arrested. Troops were deployed after a third consecutive day of protests.

The protests erupted days after Tunisia commemorated the 10th anniversary since the exile of former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. He was pushed from power in a popular revolt that later reached other North African and Mideast countries, known as the Arab Spring in 2011.
