Tunisia Drug Control: Smuggling Rise

Tunisian authorities have confirmed an escalation in drug smuggling into the country, with the volume of cases and the number of detainees increasing over recent years. The number of cases rose from more than 5,000 in 2020 to over 15,000 in 2025, while the number of detainees grew from around 10,000 to more than 27,000 during the same period. Tunisia’s strategic geographic location on the Mediterranean Sea and regional circumstances contribute to the passage of large quantities of cocaine, ecstasy pills, and Lyrica across borders with Libya and India, fueling the growth of the local consumer market. The government emphasizes the importance of international cooperation to control borders and combat international trafficking networks, applying the law equally to all regardless of social status. It has also begun implementing awareness and preventive programs to reduce drug demand.
