It's a sad state of affairs;
Recently, Tunisia has been accused of removing hundreds of sub-Saharan African migrants to a desolate area along the border with Libya.

Libyan border guards and aid workers said they had rescued dozens of migrants they said had been left in the desert by Tunisian authorities without water, food or shelter, with many left to die in the extreme heat.

Looks like they dodged a bullet since they've evacuated the Bibby due to the threat of Legionnaires Disease.
