Since the end of February and after a long period of silence, the international community, notably the European Union, has finally shifted its focus to Tunisia. The debates surrounding the "migratory crisis" are flagrantly mixed with economic concerns, as tensions rise between the IMF and Kais Saied, who has just turned down a loan from the Fund.

Algerian opponents and activists have fled to Tunisia to escape the threats they face in their country. The most recent example is Amira Bouraoui, who was at one point facing extradition. Before her, Zaki Hannache and Slimane Bouhafs came to Tunisia to seek refuge. Although Tunisia is legally obliged to protect these activists, their safety remains questionable.
