This project is funded by the European Union November 2020 Culture in ruins The illegal trade in cultural property Case study: Algeria and Tunisia Julia Stanyard and Rim Dhaouadi Summary This case study forms part of a set of publications on the illegal trade in cultural property across North and West Africa, made up of a research paper and three case studies (on Mali, Nigeria and North Africa). This study is focused on Algeria and Tunisia, which share the same forms of material culture but very different antiquity markets. Attention is given to the development of online markets which have been identified as a key threat to this region’s heritage. Key findings • The large-scale extraction of cultural objects in both countries has its roots in the period of French colonial rule. • During the civil war in Algeria in the 1990s, trafficking in cultural heritage was allegedly linked to insurgent anti-government groups among others. • In Tunisia, the presidential family and the political elite reportedly dominated the country’s trade in archaeological objects and controlled the illegal markets. • The modern-day trade in North African cultural property is an interlinked regional criminal economy in which objects are smuggled between Tunisia and Algeria as well as internationally. • State officials and representatives of cultural institutions are implicated in the Algerian and Tunisian antiquities markets in a range of different capacities, both as passive facilitators and active participants. • There is evidence that some architects and real estate entrepreneurs are connected to CASE STUDY CASE trafficking networks. Introduction The region is a palimpsest of ancient material,7 much of which remains unexplored and unexcavated by Cultural heritage in North Africa has come under fire archaeologists.

Tunisians figure disproportionately among the foreign jihadist cohort, yet their ubiquity is somewhat confounding. Why Tunisians? This study aims to bring clarity to this question by examining Tunisia’s foreign fighter networks mobilized to Syria and Iraq since 2011, when insurgencies shook those two countries amid the broader Arab Spring uprisings. ©2018 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY.

Etude de la mise à 2x2 voies de la route RR27 entre Nabeul et Kélibia Etude d'Impact sur l’Environnement CHAPITRE 1. INTRODUCTION Le présent dossier constitue l'étude d'impact sur l'environnement du projet de la mise en 2x2 voies de la route de la RR27 entre Nabeul et Kélibia et la réalisation des déviations de Korba et Menzel Témime dans le gouvernorat de Nabeul. Les études techniques et d’EIE ont été confiées au bureau d'études B.T.E. (Bureau Tunisien des Etudes) par la Direction des Etudes du Ministère de l'Equipement. Ce projet est soumis aux dispositions de la loi n°88-91 du 2 août 1988 et notamment son article 5, ainsi qu'au décret n°91-362 de mars 1991 et au décret n°2005-1991 du 11 juillet 2005, qui précisent que la réalisation d'une étude d'impact sur l'environnement et son agrément par l'ANPE sont un préalable à toute autorisation de création d'activités nouvelles susceptibles d'engendrer des nuisances pour l'environnement. 1.1 CADRE GENERALE Le Cap Bon est un cap qui constitue la pointe nord-est de la Tunisie situé sur la mer méditerranée, il ouvre le canal de Sicile et ferme le golfe de Tunis. Appelé parfois « beau promontoire », les habitants connaissent cette péninsule sous le nom de Rass Eddar. À l'époque de la puissance de la civilisation carthaginoise, il constituerait la limite méridionale au-delà de laquelle ne peuvent plus circuler les navires romains. Le Cap Bon donne également son nom à toute la péninsule s'étendant jusqu'aux villes d'Hammamet (au sud) et de Soliman (à l'ouest).

Change Detection and Environmental Impacts Assessment of Tabarka Coastal Area - North Western of Tunisia
Atti 13a Conferenza Nazionale ASITA - Bari 1-4 dicembre 2009 Change detection and environmental impacts assessment of Tabarka coastal area - North Western of Tunisia Nabila Halouani(*) , Alberto Marini(**) and Moncef Gueddari(*) (*) Faculty of Sciences of Tunis, Geochemistry and Environmental Geology laboratory, Campus universities, Tunis 2092, Tunisia. E-mail: [email protected] (**) Cagliari University - Earth Sciences Department, "TeleGIS" Laboratory, Via Trentino, 51- 09127 Cagliari – Italia e-mail: [email protected] Riassunto: La protezione delle aree costiere è una parte vitale di tutti i programmi per uno sviluppo sostenibile: anche in Tunisia i litorali sono soggetti ad una erosione progressiva a lungo termine, che minaccia il patrimonio naturale e culturale. L'erosione litoranea deriva da una combinazione di vari fattori, sia naturali che di natura antropica, basati su modelli che si evolvono nello spazio e nel tempo in maniera differente. La costa di Tabarka, inserita nel litorale tunisino nordoccidentale, presenta un'alternanza di promontori rocciosi e di spiagge sabbiose. Anche se non ancora molto urbanizzato, questo litorale è tuttavia soggetto a degradazione ed a modifiche, particolarmente lungo la line di costa, con erosione significativa in alcuni tratti. Questa ricerca è volta all’analisi dello sviluppo della linea costiera ed alla valutazione del Figure 1: Location map of study area potenziale cambiamento, applicando tecniche di telerilevamento ad una serie di foto aeree e di immagini multitemporali da satellite (Landsat e Quickbird). Lo studio analizza l'intensità delle correnti litoranee ed i tassi di evoluzione della linea di costa col desiderio di fornire un riferimento utile per favorire le autorità locali nelle decisioni circa la gestione futura della fascia costiera.

UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Contested Legend Of
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Contested Legend of al-Kâhina: Prophetess or Propaganda? A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Art in African Studies by Jessica Leigh Keuter 2019 © Copyright by Jessica Leigh Keuter 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Contested Legend of al-Kâhina: Prophetess or Propaganda? by Jessica Leigh Keuter Master of Arts in African Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Ghislaine Lydon, Chair With depictions ranging from anti-Muslim resistance warrior of the seventh century to mythical priestess, al-Kâhina looms large in the historical narratives of North African Amazigh, Jewish, and Arab peoples. Despite her legendary status, al-Kâhina’s existence as a historical female figure who reigned over the Amazigh is disputed. In this paper, I highlight the long history of colonial occupation and continual resistance organizing by the Amazigh prior to al-Kâhina’s battles with the Arab invaders at the end of the seventh century. Through analysis of secondary sources, I examine how both Arab and French occupations appropriated the legend to promote their agendas. I argue that al-Kâhina’s story has been used to enforce or combat different political agendas, both historically and today. Presently in the region , al-Kâhina has been iconized and used as the “face” of Amazigh nationalist and cultural movements. ii The thesis of Jessica Leigh Keuter is approved. Katherine M.
