Hundreds of Tunisians have held fresh demonstrations in the capital, slamming austerity measures imposed by the government.
Protesters took to the streets once again on the seventh anniversary of the uprising that triggered a chain of similar moves across many Arab countries. They vented their anger at price rises and demanded the budget be abandoned.
Meanwhile, the Tunisian government has announced a set of social reforms including an increase in aid to the needy people and improved health care.
Protests erupted last Monday in several towns and cities across Tunisia, after the government raised value-added tax and social contributions, and increased some prices in its 2018 budget.
The rallies have been marked by arrests and clashes between protesters and security forces.
