SUMMARY:Destination Tunisia: Changing border regimes and Syrian displacement trajectories in the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Dr Wael Garnaoui (founder of the Border Studies Group, University of Sousse) will chair the webinar with interventions Dr. Ann Zuntz (MECAM & University of Edinburgh), Marwen Bounab (University of Sousse), Asma Ben Hadj Hassen & Francesco Teo Ficcarelli (Mixed Migration Centre), and will be moderated by Dr Marouen Taleb (Tunis Research Institute on Contemporary Maghreb). The first half of the webinar will provide insights into Syrians’ flight trajectories to Tunisia, presenting results from recent ethnographic fieldwork led by Dr Ann Zuntz. The research comprised interviews with Syrian households, policymakers and aid providers in Tunisia; it redirects the focus from South-North journeys across the Mediterranean to South-South movement. The study demonstrates how pre-war migration and trade ties between Syria and Tunisia and Tunisia’s complex migration landscape have shaped Syrians’ conditions of arrival. Changing border regimes in Arab host countries have reordered Syrian movements across the Middle East and North Africa, forcing the poorest Syrians to travel the longest, most dangerous, and most expensive routes to reach Tunisia. MMC will close the webinar with insights from quantitative survey data collected over the last two years with Syrians residing in Tunisia which will shed light on the most common routes taken journey experiences and intentions for the future.  Following the presentations, our discussant Marouen Taleb will respond with his comments and lead into the Q&A session.\nThe webinar is held virtually on Tuesday 8 February 2022, 17h00 – 18h30 (CET) (16h00 – 17h30 UTC) after register on Eventbrite ( https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/destination-tunisia-syrian-displacement-trajectories-in-the-global-south-tickets-249315297767 )\ndownload here ( https://mecam.tn/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Captions-suggested-templates.pdf ) \n
