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.

Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 3 Pre-Elections Period
Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 3 Pre-Elections Period Introduction This is the third in a series of reports the International Republican Institute (IRI) is issuing over the course of the next few months as Tunisia holds parliamentary and presidential elections. The parliamentary elections will be held Sunday, October 26, 2014, while the presidential elections are scheduled for November 23 with a potential run-off occurring before the end of 2014. This report is a follow-up to IRI’s Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 2 and Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 1 and draws on the observation and analysis of IRI’s long-term observers deployed at strategic locations throughout Tunisia. IRI’s long-term observation mission is based in Bizerte, Mahdia, Medenine, Tozeur and Tunis, but has provided coverage of 20 of Tunisia’s 24 governorates. The long-term observer (LTO) delegation includes representation from Egypt, France, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Portugal and Togo and has been active since September 1, 2014. IRI also deployed an LTO to witness the voter registration period in July and August of this year. To support the elections, IRI will conduct international election observation missions for both the parliamentary and presidential elections, deploying long-term and short-term observers throughout the country to monitor the pre- and post-elections processes, assess the transparency and credibility of the process, and, afterward, offer analysis and recommendations for future electoral cycles. Per Tunisia’s new constitution, the elections are being administered by the Independent High Authority for Elections (ISIE), which is a permanent independent public authority responsible for ensuring democratic, free, pluralistic, fair and transparent elections.

ZELIN Tunisia should really open its embassy in Raqqa, not Damascus.

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.

Islandscapes Under Question: the Maltese Archipelago, Pantelleria and Marettimo and Their Contexts in Classical Antiquity
Islandscapes under question: the Maltese Archipelago, Pantelleria and Marettimo and their contexts in classical Antiquity. PASCAL ARNAUD “Malta, my dear sir, is in my thoughts, sleeping and waking” (Sir Horatio Nelson) During the last two decades, three new concepts were introduced in the field of maritime archaeology, and in maritime history as a whole. The first was that of “Maritime Cultural Landscape” defined as the “whole network of sailing routes, old as well as new, with ports and harbours along the coast, and its related con- structions and remains of human activity, underwater as well as terrestrial” (Westerdhal 1992: 6). It opposed Natural Landscape (i.e. geo-biological determin- isms) and Cultural Landscape (human impact) and reached a fair success in the fol- lowing years among many scholars (Parker 1999). It quickly led to the specializa- tion of the notion of Landscape as to indicate natural landscape, as opposed to other particular, mainly cultural, landscapes (Gosden & Head 1994). The concept of “Seascape” (Gosden & Pavlides 1994) was thus applied to islands considered as lands partially determined by the sea, in a balanced view of the complementary im- pacts of Man and Nature. Increased interest in Island Archaeology, especially among prehistorians, led many to consider islands as a world per se and insularity as a sufficient common feature. In other words, the implicit premise of island ar- chaeology was “that insular human societies show intrinsic characteristics essen- tially dissimilar from those on mainlands” (Boomert & Bright 2007: 3). In 1996, a dissertation about Archaeology of the Early Cyclades, published four years later (Broodbank 2000) introduced the notion of “Islandscape”, which focused on the Islands, especially under the cultural aspect of maritime connectivity, a concept made essential by recent research in the history of the classical Mediterranean as a whole (Horden & Purcell 2000).

Preliminary Analysis of Helicopter Options to Support Tunisian Counterterrorism Operations
C O R P O R A T I O N Preliminary Analysis of Helicopter Options to Support Tunisian Counterterrorism Operations Christopher A. Mouton and Adam R.

Rising costs and delays Chinook, the Mi-17v5, and the S-61T. in delivery raised the question of whether other cost-effective • Availability will also be a factor in determining options exist to meet Tunisia’s helicopter requirement. whether these helicopters are viable alternatives. Approach Our team conducted a preliminary assessment of alternative helicopters for counterterrorism air assault missions. Any decision to acquire an aircraft must consider many factors, including technical effectiveness, cost, maintainability, production-line capacity, training and sup- port availability, industrial offsets, and domestic and international political implications. In this preliminary analysis, we focus on the question of cost-effectiveness in the UH-60M’s primary role: Which alternative platforms could perform the assault mission, and at what cost? The core of our analysis is detailed modeling of key “mission tasks” on a sortie-by-sortie basis. Our model uses raw technical data—such as specific range, hover performance, and weight limits—to simulate the flight of each alternative platform through each sortie. This enables us to assess which platforms can per- form the required sorties, as well as how many aircraft are needed.
