Tunisia: Protesters to gather at Tunisian Football Federation in Tunis Jan. 8

Event

Fans of football team Club Africain plan to protest outside the Tunisian Football Federation in Tunis, from 1000 Jan. 8, over a series of grievances, including alleged corruption and poor management. Protesters are demanding the dismissal of the club's President and its board of directors. Hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Authorities will likely increase security to monitor the protest. Increased security measures and large numbers of protesters will likely result in localized transport disruptions. Clashes between protesters and security forces are possible if demonstrators ignore police orders to disperse or are overly disruptive.
