“Let our lives matter”
In Echoes No. 17 we wrote: “Tunisia is opening a new chapter in the EU’s war against Black African migrants. The makeshift Camps in the olive fields are being demolished with bulldozers and fire. 30,000 persons are losing their last resources…“
The eviction of camps continued in May 2025. The camps located on private land were the first to be affected by the destruction. Up to 3,000 people were displaced because the landowners demanded that their land be cleared. Rumours of new camps being managed by the IOM or guarded by the military have not yet been confirmed.

Despite the desperate situation, on 12 May, 400 women with their children and 100 men demonstrated in El-Amara against the eviction and the abuse. On 28 May, another powerful protest march was organized at km 35.
