Hundreds marched to the Tunisian Parliament on January 26 as protests against worsening economic conditions and police brutality continued across the country. Protests first began after the announcement of a renewed lockdown starting January 14. Police forces have deployed tear gas, water cannons and other forms of force to suppress the protests. As of January 20, human rights groups estimated that over 1600 people including 600 children had been arrested. However, these numbers have continued to grow. Several injuries were also reported yesterday as police forces deployed excessive violence to prevent protesters from reaching the parliament. Harris People's Dispatch reporter Abdul Rahman to discuss the context of the protests. The basic reason behind the protest is the economic problems the people in Tunisia are facing. When I say economic problems primarily meaning the increasing unemployment and rising poverty among the people which has been intensified particularly because of the outbreak of the COVID. Tunisia is a very service based economy which basically a large segment of its employment comes from tourism which is basically badly affected by the outbreak of the COVID and because of the lockdown imposed since then. Also Tunisia, Tunisian economy is also basically is suffering because of the various other reasons structural reasons. One of the reasons is the mismanagement but the Tunisian masses primarily call corruption. Overall the situation is last year itself according to the different estimates given by different other different international organizations. Tunisian economy has contracted almost 9% which is the largest contraction since Tunisia's independence. The state in Tunisia has been trying to prevent the protests. As I say the protests are ongoing in Tunisia for almost a decade and they have always used strong brutal measures to stop the protesters. In one of the in the recent round of protests the police used tear gas and Lati Char and other things to basically stop the protesters. In one of those protests one of the protesters was injured. He died day before yesterday which led to the call which basically say one of the reasons for the call for yesterday's march was the death of this particular protester. The parliament, Tunisian parliament was discussing the proposal given by Prime Minister Hussain Machisi. He has proposed a new cabinet and the parliament was discussing the new cabinet. The protesters basically are demanding a systematic change in Tunisia and therefore they march to parliament not only in opposition to what was proposed in the parliament as an ad hoc attempt to basically pacify the protesters but also to mark an statement that such small ad hoc measures will not be sufficient. Around 200 people have been detained by the Delhi police today in connection to the tractor rally held by farmers on January 26. Police have issued charges of rioting damage to public property and attacking of police personnel and have registered 22 first information reports. Police complaints have been filed against 10 former leaders so far. The Indian government has also deployed additional security forces including paramilitaries in the national capital today. Tens of thousands of farmers led a historic tractor rally in the capital yesterday as the country celebrated its 72nd republic day. The rally had been organized by the Sanyupti San Mocha which is a coalition of farmers organizations staging a sit-in at the Delhi border since November 2020. Following 11 runs of failed negotiations, farmers had announced the tractor rally and gotten official permissions from the police and the government. The rally was supposed to commence from three different points in the city and follow a pre-approved route. Reports of violence came in when police forces began to attack a section of farmers that had deviated from the approved route. Police officers deployed tear gas and baton charges against the protesters, a protestor was also killed in the ensuing violence and commotion. Stray incidents of violence by individual protesters were also reported which were immediately denounced by the farmers coalition. The coalition also issued a formal statement condemning the violence but reiterated that the protests at the border would continue. The administration of US President Joe Biden has announced plans to reopen diplomatic missions and resume financial and humanitarian aid to Palestine. President Biden has also reiterated his support for a two-state solution for a secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian state. These measures were announced by acting US ambassador to the UN, Richard Mills in front of the UN Security Council on January 26. Mills further stated that the United States would maintain its steadfast support for Israel and promote the normalization of relations between Israel and other countries. The US will maintain its policy of opposing unilateral actions including the annexation of territory, demolitions and settlements. It will also oppose resolutions in international bodies that quote, unfairly single out Israel. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has also stated that the Biden administration will not move the embassy, US embassy back to Tel Aviv. Former President Trump had shifted the embassy to Jerusalem in 2017 in a move that violated international law and went against the international censors. Other Trump era measures including the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Cologne Heights in Syria and Israel's claims over Jerusalem as its undivided capital remain as yet unattressed. This announcement was issued on the same day as news broke of Israeli military forces fatally shooting a 17-year-old Palestinian boy. Atallah Ryan was killed outside the illegal Israeli settlement of Ariel in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli military claimed that Ryan had attempted to stab military officers and was subsequently shot. However, as reported by Al Jazeera footage of the incident released by the military only shows, the back of the officer supposedly under attack. No other videos of the incident have been circulated as of yet. The killing of Ryan is the latest in a series of fatal shootings of Palestinians by the Israeli military. According to rights group Betzalem, Israeli forces killed at least 27 Palestinians, including seven minors across the occupied Palestinian territories and within Israel in 2020.
