Tunisia has announced plans to build a wall along its border with Libya to counter the threat from jihadist militants.
It would stretch 160km (100 miles) inland from the coast, and be completed by the end of 2015, Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid told state TV.
The gunman who killed 38 people in an attack on a beach resort is believed to have received training in Libya. Tunisia declared a state of emergency following the attack last month.
The Tunisian army would build the wall, which would have surveillance centres at certain points along it, Mr Essid said.

Walls = racism.
Good fences make good neighbors.
Walls don’t work /sarcasm
Walls don't work anyway, right?
Better chance for them than for us.
Which side does the barbed wire point?
Importantly, the historical purpose of such walls, be they Hadrian’s Wall or the Great Wall of China, was *not* to keep out invaders, just to slow them down both in entry and exit, and to give an early warning of their attack.
Invaders in such cases were dependent on stealth and speed, both in and out, which was frustrated by the walls.
Let’s see if the Amnesty-Loving TROLLS on this site attack that wall, like they do for a wall on our Southern border.
...somehow I think they’ll stay clear - they don’t want to be ‘embarrassed’, yet again.
Are Tunisia's problems all external?
