January 22, 2016: Amina and her mother welcome us into their small shop selling secondhand clothes and household odds and ends. For the past week, because of the tension, Amira’s father has forbidden her from going to school in the city center. It’s too dangerous. So the 18-year-old spends her days in Karma watching the sheep eat the plastic bags and garbage that are piling up. Amira isn’t allowed to venture too far into the neighborhood. That’s her mother’s order this time. Her mother, who runs a tiny shop, wants to keep her within sight: “Amira—I don’t want her to be harassed on the street by young people. I’m worried about her two brothers, too. Their father has allowed them to go to school, but it closes in the afternoon. I don’t want them to take advantage of that to go protest, or to be approached by terrorists.” The specter of jihadism has become a source of terror—or an opportunity—for poor families in Kasserine.© Images de Tunisie — watermarked preview

22 janvier 2016 : un jeune d'Ezzouhour, quartier populaire sur les hauteurs de Kasserine, nous raconte sa colère, son ennui quotidien, son désarroi. Cette semaine ils se sont affrontés durant deux soirées avec la police, mais très vite les habitants ont appelé au calme et à la sérenité. Aucun pillage n'a été recensé à Kasserine.January 22, 2016: Between the famous working-class and revolutionary neighborhoods of Ezzouhour and Ennour on the hills above Kasserine, the neighborhoods continue to grow in a haphazard manner. The Karma neighborhood is one of the most deprived; its residents live amid piles of trash, and some are still waiting to be connected to the water supply. In the distance, Mount Chambi dominates the horizon, serving as a reminder of the presence and danger of terrorism.January 22, 2016: Between the famous working-class and revolutionary neighborhoods of Ezzouhour and Ennour on the hills above Kasserine, the neighborhoods continue to grow in a haphazard manner.
