Tunisia reports further violence despite curfew

Tunis, 13 Jan – (ANA) - There are reports of further trouble overnight in Tunisia's capital, Tunis, despite a dusk-to-dawn curfew.

Hundreds of youths took to the streets in various districts in the north of the city, Spanish agency Efe reports.

According to Reuters news agency, witnesses say one man was shot dead in the clashes with the police.

Officials say at least 23 people have died since nationwide unrest began last month over rising food and fuel prices, high unemployment and corruption.

Human rights and trade union activists believe the number of dead to be at least 50.

Witnesses say the man was killed in the Ettadhamen suburb of the city, where another resident told AFP news agency the protest could be heard throughout the night.

Firemen were attempting to put out fires on Thursday morning following the trouble, the agency reports. (ANA)
