Thousands of bakeries in Tunisia have gone on strike over more than a year of unpaid government subsidies.

Their owners say they are owed nearly $80m (£65m).

The move follows similar action in October that ended after a partial deal – which bakers say the government has since reneged on.

Bread shortages have been a flashpoint for unrest in Tunisia, which has experienced a spike in protests over food shortages and living conditions.
