There have been unrest in Syria and Thailand last year, among other countries, and now it's Bosnia and Herzegovina who have been struck with immense protests.

However, these aren't simple protests. These demonstrations are reportedly "violent" and these are strikes of unpaid workers in the northern city of Tuzla. They eventually started reaching other cities as well.

According to Reuters, it is the worst day of civil unrest in Bosnia since the bloody conflict of 1992-95, reporting 145 injured in the capitol of Sarajevo including 93 police officers after protesters attempted to force their way into the presidency and set fire to the cantonal government headquarters.

Thousands of people from the country have decided to unite on government buildings, throwing stones and eggs, smashing windows, and resorted setting garbage cans on fire to express their anger.

An activist named Almir Arnaut said "I think this is a genuine Bosnian spring. We have nothing to lose. There will be more and more of us in the streets, there are around 550,000 unemployed people in Bosnia,"

The timing of the protests is during an election year and have begun due to high and uniting discontent over high unemployment in the country and widespread corruption from the judiciary and police to public sectors. Reuters has claimed it at 27.5%, but Actual Data reported over 44.5% of the labour population has been looking for jobs ever since November of 2013.

The breaking point that started it all was when four state-owned companies in Tuzla were privatized. This is where most employees in the place were employed. The companies reportedly decided to sell all their assets, stop paying the workers, and file for bankruptcy between 2002-2008.

Tuzla leader Sead Causevic says his government can do nothing to correct what has been of the past and told despondent workers to turn to the courts.

A woman named Vildana interviewed by Reuters said, "It took four years of war to destroy it and vandals now burned it in one day. This is just as in 1992."
