In the Al-Tadamun Al-Shaabi district, west of the Tunisian capital, the clashes resumed on Sunday night for the third day in a row.
Some young males blocked off the main thoroughfare, set tyres on fire, dumped containers, and hurled rocks at the security personnel.
In response, the police used tear gas and pursued the demonstrators through the area’s sub-neighborhoods.
The head of the media office in the Tunisian Ministry of Interior, Fakr Bouzghaya, said in a statement to the “Al -Arabiya” and “Al -Hadath” channel that a number of infiltrators participated in the protests in the Al -Tadamun neighborhood and the starting neighborhood for political purposes and to carry out dislocation and theft operations.
Bozghaya stated that a number of persons who wanted to disperse the demonstrators had taken money.
After the clashes, quiet eventually returned to the region, albeit a cautious calm. The security personnel stayed on the main route, which gradually resumed movement.
Conflicts started last Friday during Malik Al-(24 Sulaimi’s years old) burial. He passed away from a neck injury he sustained in late August.
The Ministry of Interior disputes protesters’ claims that Al-death Sulaimi’s was the result of police negligence.
Malik Al-Sulaimi and his friends were routinely apprehended by a patrol, but Malik Al-Sulaimi escaped, leaped from a high wall, and plummeted, according to Fakir Bouziga.
Bozghaya added in a radio interview that “all the necessary precautions were taken, consulting the Public Prosecution, and interfering to move the young man quickly to the hospital.
This occurs as demonstrations against Qais Saeed’s policies and what the demonstrators characterised as a high cost of living and a dearth of essential supplies in a nation that is experiencing a severe economic crisis took place in the capital of Tunisia.
