Tunisian inflation grows, driven up by a rise in food prices

The crisis is exacerbated by continuing high unemployment rates, especially in marginalized regions far from the capital and the coast. Protests these days often feature slogans about the high cost of living. FRANCE 24's Lilia Blaise and Hamdi Tlili report.
