TUNISIA-MINING-LABOUR-ECONOMY

A view of the phosphate production plant in Kef Eddour, in the Metlaoui mining region, one of the main mining sites in central Tunisia, after workers restarted production after a month-long strike, on March 8, 2018. Dozens of unemployed youths camp out around phosphate mines in central Tunisia, demanding jobs as part of a wave of protests aimed at focusing attention on alleged state neglect. The surge in anger is the latest in the North African nation's mining region, where one of the country's highest unemployment rates and a stark lack of infrastructure have fuelled regular unrest. / AFP PHOTO / FETHI BELAID (Photo credit should read FETHI BELAID/AFP via Getty Images)
