On Thursday, Tunisia protesters shut down the main Saharan pumping station at Kamour that feeds a costal terminal, reported Reuters.

Tunisia protesters are calling on the government to create jobs in the marginalized southern region of Tatouine.

Despite the presence of soldiers guarding the pumping station at Kamour, hundreds of protesters closed in on the petroleum installations.

Since last week, Tunisia protesters have camped out in the Sahara region to pressure the government to apply a 2017 deal that would create employment in oil companies and infrastructure projects.

The Saharan region has an unemployment rate of 30%, one of the highest unemployment rates in Tunisia.buy propecia online gaetzpharmacy.com/propecia.html no prescription

This move by protesters puts further pressure on the Tunisian government that is already struggling with mishaps after the recent resignation of prime minister Elyes Fakhfakh and an effort by several parties to expel parliament speaker Rached Ghannouchi.
