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.

  • 11 Tunis-Djerba Waste Management General Presentation Tunis Waste Management Project
    Pipeline of PPP projects in Tunisia 11 Tunis-Djerba Waste Management General presentation Tunis waste management project Location: The project focuses on the treatment of household and similar waste in Tunis and Djerba Greater Tunis. Indeed, it is envisaged to make two waste treatment and disposal sites available. Each of these two sites includes a Mechano- Biological Treatment (MBT) facility and a landfill. The total cost of the project is TND 530 million. MBT reduces the amount of waste going to landfill and limits the environmental impact of landfilling of non-recovered fractions. The MBT also makes it possible to recover several recoverable fractions in the incoming waste, and several solutions are conceivable: Solution 1: Recover recyclables (plastics, paper, glass, metals, etc.) Solution 2: Recover recyclables (plastics, paper, glass, metals, etc.) Company: Recover a stabilized organic fraction allowing a valuation as an ANGeD amendment, Mission: Solution 3: Recover recyclables (plastics, paper, glass, metals, etc.) Waste management Recover a stabilized organic fraction allowing a valorization like amendment. Recover a fraction with high calorific value allowing Cost: the production of a secondary fuel. TND 530 million The operation, of a MBT installation is schematized as follows: The incoming waste deposited by the collection bins is the subject of a first mechanical treatment which consists of opening the bags. After opening the bags, the waste is directed to a biological treatment which results in waste water loss and degradation of part of the organic fraction. At the end of the biological treatment is a mechanical treatment that sorts and separates the waste to capture the various fractions according to the recovery objectives - as indicated above.

  • Varied New Ramsar Sites in Tunisia 6 November 2007
    Varied new Ramsar sites in Tunisia 6 November 2007 Tunisia Tunisia names 19 new Ramsar sites The government of Tunisia, which joined the Ramsar Convention in 1981, has designated 19 new Wetlands of International Importance, which will be celebrated tomorrow, 7 November 2007, as part of national commemorations of the 20th anniversary of the inauguration of the present government. Tunisia now has 20 Ramsar sites, covering an area of 726,541 hectares. Michael Smart, who assisted the authorities of the Direction Générale des Forêts in compiling the requisite data for the new sites, emphasizes that "there is a very wide spread of sites all over the territory of the country, and the regional authorities have been much involved in site selection and the preparation of documentation". He notes: "There is also a very wide variety of wetland types, from peatbogs in the north like Dar Fatma and Mejen Ech Chitan (how many people knew there were peat bogs in North Africa?); to a major delta, the Mejerdah; to coastal lagoons like Korba [Lagunes du Cap Bon oriental]; to typical North African salt depressions on the desert edge like Kelbia, Noual and Sidi Mansour, not forgetting the biggest one of them all, Chott El Jerid; to karstic wetlands like Ain Dahab; to oasis wetlands, the Kebili group; artificial wetlands like the Thyna saltpans and the Lebna water reservoir; and finally a major group of tidal sites. I would give a special word to the tidal sites, which are extremely rare in the Mediterranean and very important for their birds, fish and shellfish: they include Kneiss Islands (probably the most important tidal site in the whole of the Mediterranean), the three Djerba sites, and Bahiret el Bibane." The preparations for the new designations have been materially assisted by WWF International's Global Freshwater Programme and WWF's Mediterranean Programme Office (MedPO), with generous support from the MAVA Foundation.

  • Quelques Aspects Problematiques Dans La Transcription Des Toponymes Tunisiens
    QUELQUES ASPECTS PROBLEMATIQUES DANS LA TRANSCRIPTION DES TOPONYMES TUNISIENS Mohsen DHIEB Professeur de géographie (cartographie) Laboratoire SYFACTE FLSH de Sfax TUNISIE [email protected] Introduction Quelle que soit le pays ou la langue d’usage, la transcription toponymique des noms de lieux géographiques sur un atlas ou un autre document cartographique en particulier ou tout autre document d’une façon générale pose problème notamment dans des pays où il n’y a pas de tradition ou de « politique » toponymique. Il en est de même pour les contrées « ouvertes » à l’extérieur et par conséquent ayant subi ou subissant encore les influences linguistiques étrangères ou alors dans des régions caractérisées par la complexité de leur situation linguistique. C’est particulièrement le cas de la Tunisie, pays méditerranéen bien « ancré » dans l’histoire, mais aussi bien ouvert à l’étranger et subissant les soubresauts de la mondialisation, et manquant par ailleurs cruellement de politique toponymique. Tout ceci malgré l’intérêt que certains acteurs aux profils différents y prêtent depuis peu, intérêt matérialisé, entre autres manifestations scientifiques, par l’organisation de deux rencontres scientifiques par la Commission du GENUING en 2005 et d’une autre août 2008 à Tunis, lors du 35ème Congrès de l’UGI. Aussi, il s’agit dans le cadre de cette présentation générale de la situation de la transcription toponymique en Tunisie, dans un premier temps, de dresser l’état des lieux, de mettre en valeur les principales difficultés rencontrées en manipulant les noms géographiques dans leurs différentes transcriptions dans un second temps. En troisième lieu, il s’agit de proposer à l’officialisation, une liste-type de toponymes (exonymes et endonymes) que l’on est en droit d’avoir par exemple sur une carte générale de Tunisie à moyenne échelle.

    THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF ALGERIA By Bernadette Michalski 1 The Nation enjoys a diverse, but modest production of m3 in 1993. According to SONATRACH, the reduction was metals and industrial minerals; however, hydrocarbons due to the revamping of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) unit remained by far the leading mineral sector, providing about at Arzew, which necessitated a 3-month shutdown. This unit $9.5 billion2 in export earnings in 1994 and accounting for represents 40% of the country's liquefaction capacities. 97% of the Nation's hard currency earnings. The Government Western Europe absorbed more than 90% of Algeria's crude announced its chief priorities: expanding exploration oil exports in 1994. Depleting oil reserves in mature fields activities, improving the recovery rate of oil and gas, diverted marketing attention to natural gas, condensates, and augmenting hydrocarbon reserves, and increasing refined products. Future gas sales are directed to pipelines hydrocarbon production, transport, and export capacities. connecting Algeria with southern Europe through Italy and With an accumulated external debt of $26 billion, any Spain rather than LNG exports, offering the lowest cost decline in oil prices has serious implications for the option to meet Europe's predicted growth in natural gas Government's domestic finances.

  • Libya Is Located in the North of Africa Between Longitude 9O ‐ 25O East and Latitude 18O ‐ 33O North
    Libya is located in the north of Africa between longitude 9o ‐ 25o east and latitude 18o ‐ 33o north. It extends from the Mediterranean coast in the north to the Sahara desert in the south, with a total surface area of approximately 1.750 million km2.Itis bounded on the east by Egypt, on the west by Tunisia and Algeria and on the south by Chad, Niger and Sudan. According to 2006 census, the total population of Libya amounted to about 5.658 millions (5.298 Libyans and 0.360 non‐Libyans) The population density varies widely from one area to another. About 70% of Libyan population lives in the coastal cities, where more than 45% live in Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrātah and AzZawayah, with a population density of about 45 person per km2. This density does not exceed 0.3 person per km2 in the interior regions. Location map Rainfall in Libya is characterized by its inconsistency as a result of the contrary effects of the Sahara from one side and the Mediterranean from the other. Intensive thunderstorms of short duration are fairly common. Abou t 96% of Libyan ldland surface receives annual raifllinfall of less than 100 mm.
