Tunisian unrest grows amid inflation, migration, and repression – BBC Newsnight

In Tunisia, galloping inflation, the pressures of trans-Saharan migration, and an increasingly repressive government, are straining social cohesion. 
 
There are similarities to the situation that led to the country’s Jasmine Revolution in 2010, which in turn triggered the wider Arab Spring protests. 
 
It’s all being watched nervously across the Mediterranean by European countries that rely on the government there to control migration. 
 
Mike Thompson reports from Tunis for Newsnight.
