Just like its neighbor Algeria, Tunisia seems also to have fully committed its efforts to clean up the management of its land sector. In that regard, the State has recovered 20,113 hectares of State domains which were illegally occupied since 2011.
“These domains were squatted since the incident of January 14, 2011. The Béja governorate was the one to recover the most lands (3,115 ha) while the Tataouine governorate for its part recorded no act of spoliation of State domains. Recovering was conducted after many the implementation of rights forfeiture decisions, eviction decisions and judicial decisions. Recovered properties were placed under the custody of the State domains Office, for their rehabilitation and optimal exploitation toward the nation’s development,” reads the government’s statement.
So far, around 14,000 ha are still squatted all over the country.
