Tunisians dream of moving to Germany as crisis bites

[Eldorado]

Germany is becoming a key destination for disillusioned young Tunisians despite a language barrier and the North African nation's long history of ties with France.

Europe's biggest economy, with its low birth rate, is crying out for labour, and many Tunisians, exhausted by years of economic crisis, see an opportunity for a legal path to emigration.

Numbers are still small but rising fast. Germany granted 5,474 work permits to Tunisians from January to October -- up from 4,462 in the whole of last year and more than double the numbers for 2020.
