Bizerte drug strategy
The figures indicate that around 5% of Tunisia’s population uses drugs, while adolescents and young people make up 7.9% of cannabis users and 14% of users of narcotic pills. Although large quantities have been seized in Bizerte—including around 41,000 narcotic pills and 2,750 syringes—the repeated operations point to the networks’ continuing ability to supply drugs. This means that cutting off supply alone is not enough; prevention efforts must continue and demand must be reduced. Bizerte has no rehabilitation centre, despite the opening of clinics to diagnose and treat addiction. Specialists are therefore calling for a regional centre and a national strategy that brings together treatment, accommodation, awareness-raising and follow-up.
