Tunis/Tunisia — The Gafsa Phosphate Company (CPG) resumed, Friday, the transport of phosphate from the production unit of Om Larayes to the producers of chemical fertilisers, after an interruption that lasted five years, due to repeated protests and sit-ins, said Secretary-General of the Regional Union of Labour in Om Larayes, Ahmed Saidi.
