How did the EU's prior funding policy for migration control in Tunisia contribute to the reported human rights abuses, and what were the reported consequences of this policy?

The EU's decision follows years of documented human rights violations against sub-Saharan migrants in Tunisia, largely ignored by the EU in its pursuit of reduced migration. The Guardian's exposé, along with previous reports from human rights organizations and media, revealed the scale of the abuses, including mass expulsions into the desert and widespread sexual violence. This shift signals a potential change in the EU's approach to migration partnerships.
