The European Union (EU) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Tunisia to combat Illegal Migration, with a focus on preventing the departure of migrant boats and fighting smugglers. The agreement also aims to facilitate the return of Tunisians in irregular situations in the EU and migrants from sub-Saharan Africa to their countries of origin. The EU plans to negotiate similar partnerships with Egypt and Morocco. However, the treatment of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa by Tunisian authorities has drawn criticism, with reports of migrants being "deported" to inhospitable areas. The agreement will need approval from all EU member states.
