The Tunisian government decided to reopen roads and production sites that had been closed following protests that took place two weeks ago.
This came during a meeting held at the government headquarters with the participation of Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi, Defence Minister Brahim Bartagi, Minister of Justice Mohamed Boussetta and Interior Minister Tawfiq Sharaf Al-Din to discuss the security situation in the country, according to a statement issued by Mechichi.
Mechichi highlighted the need: “To take immediate steps to enforce the law and act in coordination with the public prosecutor’s office to reopen blocked roads and reactivate production facilities.”
He added that the protests: “Have led to difficulties providing basic materials to all Tunisians and affected their vital interests and security, as well as the security of the country.”
