CARTHAGE: Tunisia will “assume its responsibilities” on unwanted migrants, President Beji Caid Essebsi said Thursday after Germany threatened to cut development aid to countries that stall on the return of rejected asylum seekers. In response to failings which kept the suspected attacker at a Berlin Christmas market on December 19 from being deported to Tunisia before the carnage, German officials have threatened to end development aid. “Europe must be calm. Tunisia is a country which assumes its responsibilities,” Essebsi told AFP during a reception at the presidential palace. “We have accords with Europe. We have bilateral accords with certain countries, including Germany. These are good accords that will be implemented, by them and by us,” he said.
