African Migrants Stranded in Tunis: Survival Struggles and EU Border Policies

African Migrants Stranded in Tunis: A Struggle for Survival

Sub-Saharan African migrants are facing dire conditions in Tunis, Tunisia, as they remain stranded while attempting to cross the Mediterranean to Europe.

Life in Transit

Many migrants have set up a camp near the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) headquarters, hoping for assistance.

Criticism of EU Policies

The EU's diplomatic activities, particularly those guided by Italy, have been criticized for superficially addressing the complex migration issue. Critics argue these policies primarily focus on tasking Tunisia with guarding Europe's southern borders, without resolving the root causes of migration.
