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.

'Nameless Motif'

Wool, 156 x 128 cm. paul vandenbroeck The ‘Nameless Motif’: On the Cross-Cultural 113 Iconography of an Energetic Form Paul Vandenbroeck * As I strolled through a quiet Tuscan townlet on a late summer’s afternoon in * KMSKAntwerpen/IMMRC-KULeuven 1973, in the days before the rural hinterland was changed for ever by the tourist invasion, I was struck by the sight of an elderly lady sitting at a table by the entrance to her house. Displayed on the tabletop were various home-made items of lace and textile that she was offering for sale. As a student of the his- tory of art, I was all too familiar with canonised Art, with capital A, but en- tirely ignorant about domestically crafted textiles. Yet I stopped in my tracks, captivated as I was by an ungraspable aesthetics that was quite alien to me, as it was light years away from the universe of male-dominated Renaissance art. There was one piece, featuring both abstract and stylised patterns, that I found particularly attractive – despite myself. When I enquired about the price, the woman asked: ‘Are you married?’. I told her I was not. ‘Then I cannot sell this piece to you’, she said. I stood there dumbfound, unable to comprehend why this should be the case, and tried to assure her that I found the piece genuinely beautiful. Speaking in the local dialect, slowly and clearly for my benefit, she said she believed me, but that that was not the point.

ZELIN Tunisia should really open its embassy in Raqqa, not Damascus. That’s where its people are. —ABU KHALED, AN ISLAMIC STATE SPY1 THE PAST FEW YEARS have seen rising interest in foreign fighting as a general phenomenon and in fighters joining jihadist groups in particular. 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.

ABSTRACT This paper presents an economic analysis of the health and medical sector in Tunisia. After reviewing the structure of investment and recurrent expenditure policy over the first planning decade, it analyzes the effectiveness with which resources are allocated in the health system. It provides a theoretical framcwork for the analysis of medical referral systems as well as an analysis of (1) the pattern of demand for medical services, (2) the operating characteristics of Tunisia's medical referral system, (3) the causes of capacity underutilization in hospitals and (4) the incidence of government medical expenditure. Finally, the paper evaluates Tunisia's medical manpower strategy. 10. CONTROL NUMBER 11. PRICE OF DOCUMENT PN-AAB- / 40 12. DESCRIPTORS 13.

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.

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. Grissom Background Key findings In early 2014, the government of Tunisia requested permission from the government of the United States to purchase 12 UH- • Four helicopters could be more cost-effective than the 60M Blackhawk helicopters from Sikorsky to fulfill a number UH-60M: the AS-332L1 Super Puma, the CH-47D of roles in counterterrorism operations. 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.
