Southeast Tunisia – In Ben Guerdane, a town in Tunisia’s far southeast straddling marshes, the sea, and the Libyan border, rows of stalls selling smuggled fuel sit shuttered. Only one stall is open. Out front, Tarek sits in a burnous, a woollen hooded Tunisian cloak. Behind him, plastic jerrycans full of diesel are stocked in the shade of his stall. “We gather the fuel that traders bring across from Libya, store it, and sell it here,” Tarek said. “But for the eight months that the borders were closed [due to coronavirus measures], we didn’t work a day. We sat at home.”
