Young Man Commits suicide in Protest Against Unemployment
A young unemployed teenager has killed himself in Sidi Bouzid, the marginalised
town in central Tunisia where the country’s revolution erupted two years ago,
witnesses said on Tuesday.
Wissem Hani, 17, died on Sunday from a massive electric shock after clinging
to an electric pylon in protest at his bleak circumstances, the witnesses told
an AFP journalist.
The number of people committing suicide or attempting to take their own lives
has multiplied since a young Tunisian street vendor set himself on fire on
December 17, 2010, in a drastic act of protest against police harassment.
Mohamed Bouazizi’s death ignited a mass uprising that toppled ex-dictator
Zine El Abidine Ben Ali the following month and touched off the Arab Spring.
Limited economic prospects, especially in the neglected interior, were key
factors behind Tunisia’s revolution. Two years on, nearly a quarter of the
population lives in poverty, with unemployment at around 18 percent.
Last week in Sidi Bouzid, protesters angry at the government’s failure to
improve living standards hurled rocks at President Moncef Marzouki after a
speech he gave to mark the anniversary of the uprising.

Weird: Nigerian student In Ghana cuts off his manhood and swallows it
A Nigerian student enrolled in one of the numerous tertiary institutions in
Ghana has cut and swallowed his penis. The incident occurred last Friday.
Although no one is sure what prompted the 25-year-old student (name withheld) to
chop-off and practically ingest his manhood, Daily Sun gathered that he is
currently on admission at one of Ghana’s teaching hospitals.
In Ghana, the average tuition fee per academic session for a non-Ghanaian
student hovers around $6,000 (over N900,000). If his parents could pay his fees
for studying in Ghana, it was doubtful hunger was not the boy’s reason.
