In France, the Ben Ali clan's asset freezes have been repeatedly violated. Like his Tunisian counterpart, the former Egyptian dictator Mubarak and his entourage have a large number of assets that were supposed to be blocked. Yet between 2011 and 2021, these freezes have been infringed about thirty times, which makes the effectiveness of these economic sanctions questionable.

Immigration through Serbia, the new hope for the youth of Tataouine

| 05 September 2022 | 15 minutes
"Nothing pushes you to take the bitter option like having a worse bitter option. Our country is suffering from unemployment and my son dreams, like his peers, to have a family. Irregular migration is easier than staying here and watching people develop while he is helpless and humiliated by the lack of resources. I will not wait until I see him hang himself," he said. With these words, Mahmoud summarizes his motives in raising money for his son, to travel in an irregular migration, or harqa "burn" in the Tunisian colloquial Arabic, through Serbia to France, following the path of hundreds of young people from the state of Tataouine.
