We are suffering.!! We are dying.!! lungs cancer is killing our children.!! Air pollution is poisoning our health.!! But, no one hear us . No one tries to help us.
The Tunisian chemical group (TCG) is a Tunisian public industry whose purpose is to transform extracted phosphate into phosphoric acid and fertilizers. This industry damaged the air with its gas emission. We can't deny that this industry employs thousands of people and makes a lot of incomes and re-invests in other projects but its gas emission is killing many people every year.
In fact, with gas emission air pollution is becoming one of the annoying environmental issues which push us to make a radical change and push the government to transfer the industry to an other place far away from its original location in Sfax, the second biggest city in Tunisia.
As sfax inhabitants, we are complaining every single hour about this danger. But, no one hear our cries. We are still waiting for a radical solution.
Citizens,environmental and non-governmental associations make a lot of movements such as sit_ins, strikes, local and global conferences and many other activities. After this movements, the Tunisian government promised us to move the chemical group to an other place. Moving this industry was one of major project of the new elected government after the revolution. However, there is no change. The Tunisian president decided to oblige the responsible of this chemical group to move their industry. But, there is no change.
We are still waiting.!! We are still crying.!! We will never give up. We are willing to continue our efforts at least to save the next generations and the rest of plants and animals.
Yours firas.
