Investment Opportunities in Inland Areas of Tunisia Investment Opportunities in Inland Areas of Tunisia Investment Opportunities in Inland Areas of Tunisia Regional development in particular in inland areas within the next few years will be one of the major concerns of public authorities. To attract investment in these areas the regional development policy will be focused primarily on five fields: • establishing good regional governance; • developing infrastructure (roads, highways, railway etc.); • strengthening financial and tax incentives; • Improving the living environment; • promoting decentralized international cooperation.

  • Les Terrasses Historiques Du Bassin De Kasserine (Tunisie Centrale) the Historical Terraces of the Basin of Kasserine (Central Tunisia)
    Géomorphologie : relief, processus, environnement, 2008, n° 3, p. 201 Les terrasses historiques du bassin de Kasserine (Tunisie centrale) The Historical terraces of the basin of Kasserine (Central Tunisia) Amor Bkhairi* et Mohamed Raouf Karray* Résumé Dans le bassin de Kasserine, les dépôts historiques atteignent plusieurs mètres d’épaisseur et représentent une superficie importante le long de l’oued Htab et de ses affluents méridionaux. En certains endroits, ils recouvrent des sédiments allant de l’Holocène moyen au Pléistocène supérieur et ils forment aussi trois terrasses emboîtées dans la terrasse principale d’âge fini-pléistocène à holocène moyen. Les sédiments de ces terrasses sont riches en matériaux datables au 14C (Helix, charbon de bois et ossements) ainsi qu’en vestiges archéologiques (silex taillés, céramiques et structures romaines), permettant d’établir un calage chronologique et des corrélations. Ce travail précise les âges relatifs et absolus des dépôts et des formes, établit la chrono-stratigraphie des derniers 2 300 ans et esquisse l’étude morphodynamique de leur évolution. Il apporte de nouvelles précisions sur la signification anthropique et climatique de la haute terrasse historique du bassin de Kasserine. Mots clés : terrasses historiques, datation 14C, céramiques romaines, bassin de Kasserine, Tunisie. Abstract In the Kasserine basin, several meters thick deposits of Historic age are widespread along the Htab Wadi and its southern tributaries. In places, they cover Late Pleistocene to mid Holocene sediments and form also three terraces built inside the main late Pleistocene to mid Holocene terrace. The deposits of the three terraces are rich in 14C dateable materials (Helix, charcoal and bones) and archaeo- logical artefacts (flint tools and Roman ceramics and walls) that allow relative dating and correlations.

  • Tunisia 2019 Human Rights Report
    TUNISIA 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tunisia is a constitutional republic with a multiparty, unicameral parliamentary system and a president with powers specified in the constitution. During the year the country held parliamentary and presidential elections in the first transition of power since its first democratic elections in 2014. On October 6, the country held open and competitive parliamentary elections that resulted in the Nahda Party winning a plurality of the votes, granting the party the opportunity to form a new government. President Kais Saied, an independent candidate without a political party, came to office on October 23 after winning the country’s second democratic presidential elections. On July 25, President Caid Essebsi died of natural causes and power transferred to Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Ennaceur as acting president for the three months prior to the election of President Saied on October 13. The Ministry of Interior holds legal authority and responsibility for law enforcement. The ministry oversees the National Police, which has primary responsibility for law enforcement in the major cities, and the National Guard (gendarmerie), which oversees border security and patrols smaller towns and rural areas. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Significant human rights issues included reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings, primarily by terrorist groups; allegations of torture by government agents, which reportedly decreased during the year; arbitrary arrests and detentions of suspects under antiterrorism or emergency laws; undue restrictions on freedom of expression and the press, including criminalization of libel; corruption, although the government took steps to combat it; societal violence and threats of violence targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons; and criminalization of consensual same-sex sexual conduct that resulted in arrests and abuse by security forces.

Tunisians figure disproportionately among the foreign jihadist cohort, yet their ubiquity is somewhat confounding. Why Tunisians?

    Review Article ii FF o o r r e e s s t t doi: 10.3832/ifor2965-012 Biogeosciences and Forestry vol. 12, pp. 297-305 Should the silviculture of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) stands in northern Africa be oriented towards wood or seed and cone production? Diagnosis and current potentiality Wahbi Jaouadi (1-2), The aim of this work is to review studies on the silviculture of Aleppo pine (Pi- Souheila Naghmouchi (3), nus halepensis Mill.) in North Africa and the Mediterranean basin over a period (4) of 50 years. The study presents a synthesis of: (i) silviculture; (ii) wood pro- Moodi Alsubeie ductivity and growth; (iii) cone and seed production; and (vi) the socio-eco- nomic role of Aleppo pine. The results show that the production of the Aleppo pine is enhanced by the potential of the site, which is closely related to the bioclimatic stage and soil fertility. For instance, production increased from 0.4 to 4 m3 ha-1 yr-1 in an Aleppo pine stand with a dominant height varying be- tween 9.7 and 22.8 m. Previous studies confirmed that the average maximum volume in annual growth of Aleppo pine is 3.3 m3 ha-1 yr-1 for 40-year old stands at good-fertility sites. The lowest values (<0.5 m3 ha-1 yr-1) were recorded for the fourth and last class of productivity in >100-year old stands. There is high demand for Aleppo pine seeds in North Africa, making their pro- duction profitable, and this represents an important sector for the sustainable development and improvement of living-standards of the local populations.
