Government buildings have been set on fire and hundreds of people injured in the worst civil unrest in Bosnia-Hercegovina since the end of the war in the early nineties.<br /><br /> There have been three days of protests against high unemployment, corruption and botched privatisation which has driven many into poverty while producing a few wealthy tycoons.<br /><br /> The protests began in Tuzla, in what was once the industrial heart of northern Bosnia, when police clashed with unpaid workers of four former state-owned companies.<br /><br /> The new owners were supposed to have invested and made the companies profitable but instead sold the assets, stopped paying workers and filed for bankruptcy.<br /><br /> Demonstrations spread to towns across Bosnia-Hercegovina in support of the Tuzla workers and in anger at the government for failing to tackle the more than 40 percent unemployment.
