A town in southern Tunisia went on strike again on Wednesday, days after clashes broke out with police over an earlier strike. Residents are protesting a decision by Libyan authorities to halt cross-border trade on which its economy depends.
....Ben Guerdane is one of the North African nation's poorest towns and was in the news recently after Islamic State (IS) group militants crossed over from Libya and tried to storm the town before being repelled by angry residents. Seven civilians and 13 security personnel as well as 55 militants were killed in the failed invasion in early March.
