Tunis:l Tunisian security forces arrested dozens of young people during consecutive nights of disturbances in the capital and other cities, a government spokesman said Sunday. The disturbances come amid a nationwide lockdown imposed since Thursday -- the 10 year anniversary of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s fall from power -- as part of efforts to rein in surging coronavirus infections.
