Tunisia Other Erotic

This residual category covers Tunisian populations not enumerated in the other composition rows — approximately 0.5% of the population. Includes the small remaining Italian-Tunisian and French-Tunisian communities (most emigrated post-1956 independence), Tunisian Jewish community (now ~1,000 in Tunisia after substantial post-1948 emigration to Israel and France from a community of approximately 105,000 in 1948 — the Tunisian Jewish community on the Djerba island is the longest continuous Jewish community in North Africa, traced to approximately 6th c. BCE following the Babylonian destruction of the First Temple), plus Sub-Saharan African migrant communities (substantial growth as Tunisia became a major migration corridor for Sub-Saharan African populations seeking to reach Europe via Italy).
