The brief focuses on the rumored US plans to deport Third Country Nationals to Libya, explains the migrant detention conditions and criminality they would face, and details how the deportation could further worsen instability in the country.

Podcast: Tunisia: Political Unrest and the Illicit Economy

Addition segments of the podcast feature Hiba Tlili, discussing Tunisia’s political crisis, and Dr. Dalia Ghanem discussing her work on women and smuggling on the Tunisia-Algeria border.
