The authorities of Tunisia began to dismantle dozens of impromptu fields, which housed African migrants, as part of the operation to clean the zone along the Mediterranean coast and reduce tension with local residents.
The fields located on private land for a long time were at the site of violent clashes between migrants and Tunisse -El -Amra and Jabenyana, northern cities of the second largest Tunisia, SFAX.
The press secretary of the National Guard Tunisia Hossam Eddin Jabababe said that the operation was aimed at ensuring “health and safety”.
According to Jababab, about 200 detained migrants arrived from the countries of the Csahara countries.
The authorities also stated that they seized white arsenals during rasters, and suggested that deportations could soon begin to plan acts of violence for the suspects.
Responsible for the operation has already assumed that 20,000 people were covered in the fields, located near the coast of less than 160 kilometers from the Italian islands, which form the most ultra -fertile border in the European Union (EU).
Tunisia security forces intensified efforts to prevent the intersection of migrants, which could be mortal.
By the end of February, 432 migrants arrived in Italy after the exit from the coast of Tunisina, according to the UN agency for refugees.
The size of the fields for a long time was alarmed by local communities and deputies.
Tareka Mahdi, local deputy, told the regional radio that in El -Amre there were 17 fields, where residents organized protests.
Since the fields were dismantled, the authorities stated that they decided migrants on state land in Bir Melly, southwest from Sfax.
Jababel confirmed that the Tunisian government is cooperating with international migration organizations to facilitate the voluntary repatriation of those who want to return to their countries.
The fears of forced exile and transportation of the bus to the Tunisian borders of the desert borders again appeared when the authorities were preparing to dismantle the fields.
Last week, several videos and messages became viral in groups of social networks, where migrants regularly look for information, installing people who do not trust the Tunisine authorities or an international organization for migration.
Messages, without evidence, suggest that the authorities can intend to deceive migrants in buses in accordance with false offers that will be deported to Algeria or Libya.
In response to concern about the dismantling of the regions, President Kais Sid told reporters on Sunday that the operation was carried out peacefully and without violence or coercion.
Said believed that actions were guided by moral and humanitarian principles, and stated that the dismantling of the regions prevented migrants from settling in private property.
