Tunisia lifts nationwide curfew

February 4, 2016 at 4:05 pm

Tunisia has lifted a nationwide night-time curfew imposed last month following protests and violence, the country’s Interior Ministry said.

In a Thursday statement, the ministry said the curfew was lifted “in light of improvement of the security conditions” in the country.

Tunisia was racked by protests and violence in the worst unrest since a popular uprising unseated autocrat Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.
