Tunisia is the country where most African migrants attempt to reach Europe by boat across the Mediterranean. Most people come from sub-Saharan Africa.

Earlier this week, EU countries announced that they had agreed on a deal on asylum and migration. Part of the proposal is about stepping up cooperation with countries such as Tunisia in order to be able to return migrants regardless of nationality.

There is now concern in Tunisia, which is in an economic crisis, about what such a proposal might lead to.

"We have an economic and financial crisis that could worsen if migrants return. The problem becomes bigger then, says Tunisian Moncef Ben Amor.

"No clear solutions"

He is supported by Hajer Hedri.

"The problem is getting bigger and the crisis is getting worse. The whole situation is becoming more complicated than the situation that exists now. If our migrants in Europe return here, it will be a big deal. How should we deal with it? There are no clear solutions yet," she says.

On the other side of the ocean, Italy has become a key country for migrants seeking their way to Europe. There, too, opinions are divided on the migration pact. Fabio believes that European cooperation is needed to resolve the situation.

"We can't let people drown, but the whole of Europe must pull together," he says.
