Tunisia will build a wall on the border with Libya to contain terrorism

Tunisia intends to build a physical barrier, which blocks entry into the country of terrorists and at the same time, prevents the release of Tunisian fundamentalists to make the journey, which will allow you to become part of the Islamic state. The project plans to build a wall and a trench on the border with Libya and which could also affect the line of the border with Algeria. The work should have a development of about 168 km and should be completed by the end of 2015. The intention is to prevent contact with the three provinces Libyan founded by the caliphate, from which several jihadists, who have all the ' interest to destabilize the country. It is suspected, in fact, the bomber who recently hit the resort, not a single element, but was in contact with the Libyan fundamentalists. Tunisia is located between two forces that go in the opposite: on the one hand the civil and democratic institutions of the country, which have been able to follow a democratic path, the only one in the Arab world, and, secondly, a mass remarkable fundamentalists, who have not resigned to want to turn the country into an Islamic state. Tunisia is thus a land of sharp contrasts, reflected not only in his company, even in their own internal balance, difficult to manage institutions still too young and not quite entrenched. The significance of the construction of the wall is precisely to prevent the two-way communication with the sovereign territory of the Caliphate. On the one hand there is the phenomenon of infiltration within the Tunisian territory of elements that are fighting in democratic institutions, identified as a symbol of the real possibility of creating a free state more fundamentalist influence; for such people the existence of democratic Tunisia is a possible example that could be traveled by other countries, contradicting the principles and the policy that you want to affirm the existence of the Islamic state. But it is not just the problem of the institutions of Tunis, there is also the outgoing traffic of Tunisian citizens, who go to join the army of the caliphate, and then return with a high level of political and religious indoctrination to which joins a training military, able to carry out attacks relevant. An estimated four thousand Tunisians are part of the brigades of the caliphate in Libya, and Tunisia is the country that, proportionally, has provided more militiamen to the forces of the Islamic State, who are fighting in Syria and Iraq. This highlights how the path of democracy in the nation of Tunisia is very complicated and time consuming and requires very specific internal tools, such as the construction of the barrier on the border. This wall is part of a more complex strategy, which also involved the closure of eighty mosques, home of the fundamentalists; the intention is to limit as much as possible the threat of fundamentalist Islamic to protect institutions, a task difficult to achieve without a concrete aid of foreign powers, which should focus their own efforts on the protection of Tunisia, not only as a symbol, but also as bank directly in the field of possible threats directed fundamentalist, especially to Europe.
