Tunnels "terrorists" in Tunisia: Media caught between the non-verified facts and the "best interests of the country"

Posted Sunday, August 17 by the daily Essarih and relayed by electronic sites and private radio stations, information regarding the discovery of tunnels linking Tunisia, Algeria and Libya was immediately denied by the Tunisian Ministry of the Interior .

Denouncing "a groundless information that common sense rejects due to geographical features of the region," the ministry has expressed her surprise that some media continue disseminating "false news likely to affect to national security. "

Citing Tunisian and Algerian security sources, Essarih affirmed the existence of tunnels built between Libya, Tunisia and Algeria by "linked to al-Qaida terrorists."

Describing Mount Châambi of "a sieve", the Quotidien d'Oran took over the information , reporting that the achievement of the tunnels would have been "planned by a Gulf country for installation at the Algerian-Tunisian border a training camp for terrorists to return from Syria "(sic).

The "mass media" and "the best interests of the country"

In a statement, the Interior Ministry lamented the lack of verification from official sources by the media concerned.

Referring to "this period" clearly defined by the "fight against terrorism", the ministry also called "mass media" to verify "the accuracy of the source is not credible and that the goal is certainly not serve the best interest of the country. "

The Interior Ministry did so conflates a possible lack of professionalism of some media and its alleged role in the protection of a "best interest of the country."

If verified the information is indeed crucial - "fight against terrorism" or not - the goal of an independent media is however not serve the "best interests of the country", a term undefined and largely politicized .

Rather than presenting solid revelations, rumors about "terrorists" came tunnels feeding the standoff between the Interior Ministry and the actors of the fourth power, notably marked by the recent unilateral closure of several media .

Arab spring...Arabs are not known for their farming effeciency...
They tried to destroy Algeria in the 90's and fail, then went Somalia and wrecked it, from their to Yemen and turned it into a wasteland, from there they jumped to Libya and made it a flea market, then to Syria, Egypt , Tunisia, and then revisited Iraq. that's the Banu Hilal of the 16th century being recreated and sent free to loot, murder..... Morocco is a Beni hillalist as Jordan and the GCC. Morocco have a big stomach with no food to fill it...so they are smocking a big join and dreaming of establishing a Greater Morocco...
