Portraits Of Residents From Tough Neighborhoods Of Ettadhamen In Tunisia

A woman holds a bag with vegetables and fruits in front of a store in the street of a tough neighborhood in the popular city of Ettadhamen, which is one of the most populated cities in the capital Tunis. Ettadhamen City whose name means “solidarity”, was formed by the waves of internal migration (poor, small farmers and unemployed) that marked Tunisia in the early 1950s. The neighborhood's youth played a central role in the 2011 revolution which overthrew President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. Since then, the situation has worsened: precariousness, poverty, increase in cost of living, unemployment, school dropout, drug use, hopelessness, marginalization, public's lack of trust in politicians, political, social and economic crisis, social injustice and a suffering public service. This situation has been aggravated by the lockdowns and curfews imposed by the authorities in bid to contain the spread of COVID-19. From January 15 and for more than a week violent nightly riots break out in Ettadhamen and across several cities in Tunisia, during which youths had clashed with riot police that have arrested more than 1200 of young protesters among them several minors.
