In January 2018, protests occurred in Tunisia, these protests were the result of economic hardships that Tunisians dealt with.[12] The 2018 Tunisian protests were a series of protests occurring throughout Tunisia. Beginning January 2018, protests erupted in multiple towns and cities across Tunisia over issues related to the cost of living and taxes.[9] As of 9 January, the demonstrations had claimed at least one life, and revived worries about the fragile political situation in Tunisia.[9]
The Popular Front, an alliance of leftist opposition parties, called for continued protests against the government's "unjust" austerity measures, while Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed denounced the violence and appealed for calm, claiming that he and his government believe 2018 "would be the last difficult year for Tunisians".[13]
