NEARLY 400 MIGRANTS REPATRIATED FROM TUNISIA: IOM

Hundreds of African migrants have been repatriated from Tunisia to their home
countries, according to the UN's migration agency.

Nearly 400 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa have been repatriated from Tunisia
to their home countries in recent days, the International Organization for
Migration (IOM) said Friday.

The IOM has facilitated "the safe and dignified voluntary return" of 392 people,
largely from Burkina Faso, Gambia, Mali and Senegal, according to a statement
from the United Nations agency.

Upon arrival in their countries, they will receive "tailored reintegration
services to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into their communities," the
statement said.

In 2023, the agency assisted 2,557 migrants who wanted to return from Tunisia to
their country of origin, a 45 percent jump since 2022, it said.

It added that the repatriation took place in collaboration with the Tunisian
government and local authorities, including those in Sfax, the epicentre of
migration from Tunisia to Europe, as well as Medenine and Tataouine, two
disadvantaged areas in southern Tunisia.



Tunisia intercepted nearly 70,000 people during irregular migration attempts
over the first 11 months of 2023, more than double the number in 2022, according
to statistics shared by the National Guard.

Of that figure, 77.5 percent were foreigners, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa,
and the remainder were Tunisians, compared to 59 percent foreigners in 2022.

The number of departures surged in Tunisia following a speech last February by
President Kais Saied in which he denounced "hordes of illegal migrants" as a
demographic threat to the country.

Migrants and refugees in Tunisia are facing "daily institutional violence",
including "arbitrary" arrests, "forced displacements" and "expulsions towards
the borders" with Libya and Algeria, according to a report by the World
Organisation Against Torture published in mid-December.

The report said authorities have engaged in numerous human rights violations,
noting that the country is under "continued pressure from Europe to reduce
irregular migration in the Mediterranean".
