Tunisia dismantled a human trafficking network of eight Tunisians, including five women and a migrant smuggler, in a joint operation, the Tunisian National Guard said Monday.

This network is involved in human trafficking and financing illegal border crossings by Sub-Saharan Africans, the Tunisian National Guard said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.
