Tunisia has increasingly relied on the military to bring
security to its border region with Libya in response to a
growth of jihadism in the region and the rise of new forms
of trafcking in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution. But
the current approach risks worsening the security situation
and playing into the hands of jihadis. In the absence
of a concerted program to lift Tunisia’s southeast out of
poverty, crackdowns on small-time, cross-border trafckers
have hurt the traditional economy, creating an even
deeper sense of marginalization at a time when a significant
number of Tunisian foreign fighters who fought
in Iraq, Syria, and Libya are returning to the country.
