TUNIS, Sept 16 — Tunisian police supported by planes and anti-terrorism units arrested hundreds of migrants and seized boats today in a major crackdown on people smuggling in the coastal region of Sfax — a key departure point for migrants heading to Europe.
Tunisian National Guard units raided homes where hundreds of migrants were staying, intercepted trucks carrying migrants towards the beaches and seized vessels used by the smugglers, officials and witnesses said. “The air operation is intended to target smugglers who trade in the pain of frustrated people,” National Guard Colonel Houssem Jbebli told reporters.
Tunisia is under strong pressure from Italy and the European Union, which pledged 1 billion euros of EU money to help Tunisia’s battered economy in exchange for stemming the flow of migrants.
