Residents in the
Tunisian town of Fernana, north-west of the capital Tunis, have tried to
disrupt the water supply to Tunis in protest at dire economic conditions, local
media report.
The protests followed
the funeral of a young man who died after setting himself alight, following a
reported argument with a city hall official, the reports added.
Private Mosaique FM
radio reported that protesters tried to storm the main water distribution
station in the Jantura area after attending the funeral of Wessam al-Nasri.
Residents have been calling for “the right to
development” as they live in an area that “suffers from poverty and
marginalisation.”
