Scores of Tunisian families seek refuge on Algerian soil to flee misery at home

A large number of Tunisian families yesterday crossed the Algeria borders though the eastern province of Tebessa, looking for the nearest Algerian village in order to voice their anger in an unprecedented move at their miserable living conditions in Tunisia. Most of them dwell in the tiny Tunisian village of “Esbiba”.

• It should be noted that similar reasons drove Tunisian families to flee their home villages two years ago and crossed the Algerian borders to dwell in Algerian territory for a week. They agreed to return home after being assured by the Tunisian authorities that their social conditions will be taken in charge seriously.
