Libyan border guard units have released videos showing African migrants of various nationalities being rescued by them after the Tunisian authorities relegated them to a desert area on the border with Tunisia. The migrants claimed that the Tunisian authorities had confiscated their passports and mistreated them.
In addition, according to testimonies provided by "Agence France-Presse", dozens of immigrants were taken to a desert area on the border with Libya, "without food, water or even shelter." AFP photographed them trying to find shelter from the heat, which, according to the agency, is "over forty degrees"!
For its part, the Tunisian Red Crescent, which managed to visit the border areas between Tunisia and Libya, and Tunisia and Algeria, its president declared that hundreds of migrants had been forcibly expelled by the Tunisian authorities and "abandoned to their fate".
