Abstract
Tunisia’s history of violent extremism is intertwined with relative deprivation in terms of the sense of injustice arising from not attaining the quality of life expected. Tunisian radicalized youth tend to be between the ages of 24 and 37 and come from tight communities, often where economic gains since the revolution had not been felt. The report provides in-depth background to Tunisia and the Middle East in relation to extremist groups, and political, religious and social ideologies. Friends, family, and easy access to violent extremist groups act as enabling factors in youth joining extremist groups. Preventing recruitment is the objective of the paper.
