Tunisia launches a special security campaign to stop illegal immigration

  Security authorities in Tunisia have launched a special security campaign in the southeastern province of Sfax to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. The Tunisian media has reported the news and added that, illegal immigrants are using days like these to infiltrate in large numbers in the province in order to go to the beaches of Europe in the hope of finding a better life. The security campaign is based on the instructions of President Kais Saied of Tunisia and aims to stop the large wave of illegal immigrants, which according to the official Tunisian news organization (TAP), the large wave is completely unacceptable. As part of the special security campaign, the island of Kerkennah in the province of Sfax on Saturday witnessed the start of an aerial operation involving several security units and Tunisian rapid radio-army teams.

Refugees with aspirations of a better life in Europe are facing many disasters including mass drowning. The campaign has been carried out against the coastal areas of the state due to its being the main gateway for illegal immigrants that they use to travel to the country's Lampedusa island. Italy. The Italian island of Lampedusa is the first stop usually chosen by illegal immigrants on their perilous sea journeys to enter Europe. The island is only 80 kilometers from the coast of Tunisia. Most of these illegal immigrants are Africans from countries south of the Sahara Desert who, due to their journeys being very dangerous on land and sea, often do not reach their destination, and suffer a bad end.
