The Tunisian-Libyan Social Affairs Bureau asked the Tunisian authorities Tuesday to directly coordinate with their Libyan counterparts regarding the construction of the border barrier as well as to involve the UN and the international organizations in their project so that Libyan sovereignty is preserved.
The Bureau also urged the Libyan authorities in the western region to assume responsibility by providing full support for all of the forces positioned at the border, stressing that the relationship between the two countries has always been strongly firm under any circumstances and asking the media to adopt professionalism not falsification in this issue.
Tunisia has already started to build a border barrier alongside borders with Libya under the pretext of terrorists’ infiltration from Libya.
