Tunisia curfew ends

Tunisia has been hit by protests over unemployment

The night-time curfew imposed across Tunisia following unrest last month has been lifted, the ministry of Interior has announced. 

This decision follows "the improvement of the security situation", it adds. 

The curfew came into force on 22 January following protests against unemployment in 15 cities and towns, including the capital, Tunis. 

The demonstrations ave largely stopped, but there are still sporadic reports of some sit-ins and hunger strikes in front of government buildings in the central region by young people demanding jobs.
