Terrorists in Tunisia
Terrorists who have fled Idlib (in Syria), in part due to actions taken by Turkey,
are dispersing throughout Africa thus posing a security threat to the entire North African region.
Their numbers are especially high in Libya and Tunisia today. According to many commentators, Turkey, in its desire not to sacrifice its military personnel to protect its own geopolitical interests by providing military assistance to Fayez al-Sarraj's Government of National Accord (GNC), has shown its willingness to
transform Libya and Tunisia into breeding grounds for terrorism by actively directing mercenaries to these two countries.
The reason Ankara has chosen Tunisia as one of the destinations for militants from Syria is that after
Ennahda, a moderate Islamist party, won in Tunisia's parliamentary elections in October 2019, Islamists began to consolidate their position in this nation. In addition, it is worth pointing out that Ennahda's ideology has been, in many ways, inspired by that of the Muslim Brotherhood (a terrorist organization banned in Russia),
which Turkey and Qatar actively support. It is important not to forget that Turkey is a nation whose leadership includes players from moderate Islamist ranks or more precisely, the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey. Hence, it is no secret that
armed units supporting Fayez al-Sarraj's GNC and Turkey's leaders share an ideology to a certain extent (although, of course, there are also some differences).
