Tunisia: In the death boat, a Tunisian woman took a picture of her and her son, and then there was a terrifying call, revealing the moments before the dramatic end, as she was searching for life and the tragedy.
The photo spread over the past two days and swept social networking sites in Tunisia.
Her secret lies in the fact that she was taken before the sinking of the illegal immigration boat, which the mother thought was her “lifeline”, to escape the difficult living conditions in the country.
The death of an unemployed teacher, Shahida Yaqoubi, and her son after an illegal immigration boat sank in international waters after sailing a week ago from the country’s eastern coast has sparked the anger and grief of millions from Tunisia and the Arab countries.
While they republished the last picture of the teacher and her son on the boat, denouncing the increasing number of illegal immigrants from Tunisia to Europe in light of the deteriorating economic and social conditions in the country.
They also made it clear that “Martyr” lives in the Oueslatia district of the Kairouan governorate, which tops the list of the poorest governorates in Tunisia.
For her part, her aunt explained, according to “Al Arabiya Net”, that her 36-year-old niece is unemployed and suffers great financial difficulties, and has failed to find a source of livelihood for her, which prompted her to think about emigrating and riding death boats.
She also revealed that her husband is settled in Greece and that her family was never aware of her thoughts on emigrating.
While she pointed out that “Yacoubi” was terrified in the last family contact with her after the boat she was riding with her son was flooded.
It is noteworthy that the frequency of illegal immigration attempts is increasing from Tunisia and other African countries, from the Tunisian coasts to the European coasts.
