Mem-med, RiL and Refugees in Tunisia
In December of last year, the association Mem.Med, Memoria Mediterranea launched the monthly column Resistances at the Borders: Stories of Life and Struggle Between Tunisia and Italy, publishing an introduction along with the first story, titled “Battles of the Unknown”.
The column was created as a space for collective writing and raising awareness, where activists, Mem.Med members, and people on the move collaborate to gather and share lived experiences at the borders. From a perspective that starts at the margins, Resistances at the Borders restores dignity and value to the lives of those facing the migratory journey, while denouncing systemic violence and the injustices of border management policies.
This is the second story in the series.
“Through this publication, we aim to provide a critical perspective on what is happening in the olive groves of Sfax while also amplifying the voices of those who continue to fight for a more just world. Because remembering these acts of resistance is itself a political act: telling their stories means refusing to let them disappear.”
