Why are Tunisians still protesting?

Some young Tunisians say they鈥檝e had enough: for the last two weeks, they鈥檝e been protesting across the country. Politicians say they鈥檙e listening, but will their voices be heard?

Young Tunisians are fuming.

For the last two weeks, they鈥檝e been organising protests across the country, sometimes clashing with the police.

And the unrest couldn鈥檛 have come at a more symbolic time.

It鈥檚 now ten years since Tunisia got rid of its long-serving President, Ben Ali. The type of occasion that calls for a toast, right?

Not quite. Many people feel their problems remain unaddressed - from the lack of jobs to police repression.

So, will their voices be heard this time?
