Tunis - ANSA
In a recent change of policy, Tunisia will expel all migrants intercepted while attempting to reach Italy by boat, sources said on Thursday. First to be deported will be the 80 mostly sub-Saharan migrants the Tunisian Coast Guard blocked in a boat heading to Italy off the port of El Ktef, in the Medenine governorate, three days ago. The 80 migrants were taken to Tunis on Wednesday for identification. Those not qualifying for asylum will be expelled, Tunisia\'s Radio Shems reported. Asylum seekers will most likely be transferred to the Choucha refugee camp, near the border with Libya, where tens of thousands of refugees have been taken since last year.
