ZARZIS, Tunisia, - Tunisia holds an election on Saturday but, in the coastal town of Zarzis, teenager Ismail Challahki and others like him couldn't care less. All they're waiting for is the chance to risk their lives on another smugglers' boat bound for Europe.

A dozen years after the country's revolution triggered the Arab spring, poverty levels are on the rise and its political system is all but broken.

Saturday's ballot is for a new parliament, but it will have little say under a new constitution forced through this year by President Kais Saied that concentrated power in his hands.
