Tunisia–Libya border barrier (2015–16)
On the Feminism and the Tunisian Revolution map as “The border barrier”
2015–16 — To stop weapons and fighters crossing from Libya, Tunisia digs a trench and builds a sand berm along some 200 km of the border, from Ras Ajdir towards Dehiba. The barrier also cuts the smuggling trade on which many border towns live.
