TUNIS: More than half of Tunisia's migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, mostly from sub-Saharan countries, are currently living in “unacceptable conditions”, a rights group said on Tuesday. In its latest study on migration, the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights (FTDES) found that “more than half” of migrants in Tunisia lived “on the streets, in public parks, camps and open spaces”. Tunisia is a key departure point for illegal migrants trying to make the perilous crossing of the Mediterranean in search of a better life in Europe.
