Story

Migrants in Tunisia, particularly in the coastal town of El Amra, are facing challenges as they are unable to reach Europe and lack the means to return home. Anti-migration policies in Tunisia and Europe have contributed to their predicament, with clashes between different migrant groups being a common occurrence. Despite efforts to cross to Italy, the number of successful crossings has decreased, and migrants find themselves trapped in Tunisia. The situation has led to the use of dehumanizing and racist rhetoric against Black migrants and Tunisians. The partnership between Tunisia and the EU has raised concerns about democracy and human rights, with migrants being used for political purposes.
