EU -Tunisia deal: A crime,betrayal of people, humanity
The about €1billion deal between the EU and Tunisia to check irregular migration has been described as a crime and betrayal of people and humanity.
Resqship made the remark yesterday on its Twitter handle. The post reads: “#Tunisia is to become another EU gatekeeper violently preventing people from fleeing. To close this multi-million dollar deal with a country that hunts down Black ppl, simply abandons them in the desert & arrests them en masse, is a crime & betrayal of people & humanity.
“On the med we met people that climbed into the boats because they were afraid of the violence they experienced in TUN. EU-isolationism has won again. But with #Tunisia, the EU is giving massive amounts of money to a country that will thereby advance its own authoritarianism.”
