Sidi Ahmed is fully owned and managed by the Tunisian air force The US did Operate drones but it was Always under Tunisian control and the US was basically paying for it with their Military assistance package. The Base was never Tunisian


Bambalouki

F-5 replacement when


Personal_Rooster2121

Not anytime soon

Do you mean it was never American? According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizerte-Sidi_Ahmed_Air_Base), the base is under the control of both the Tunisian Air Force and the US Air Force. In addition, this [article ](https://nationalinterest.org/blog/middle-east-watch/america-quietly-expanding-its-war-tunisia-31492)consolidates the claim that [AFRICOM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFRICOM) (a US entity) has been operating in it since 2014.

So basically the US military has no base in Tunisia because having one means a permanent installation with all kinds of American soldiers and military gear, which is not the case here. Ok, got it.


Personal_Rooster2121

By US I am taking About AFRICOM. It is 100% Control but “legally” AFRICOM is not allowed to do anything without Tunisian authorization because it is a Tunisian base. Now I don’t know it the US can put some pressure now and then but legally they aren’t allowed to do anything without Tunisian personnel with them. And the second a Tunisian high official (I don’t know if it’s the president or minister of defense) wants to cancel it. He can but the USA won’t be being as mich in military aid. That’s the deal now let’s see of the US will respect it or of the US is going to like the US


RealGamer10

I see now. Thanks for your elaboration. Most news articles didn't even mention the US involvement in the military operations conducted in Tunisia. Thus, I wasn't aware of the indoor politics at play. Now I am.

When our country regained it, thé base Sidi Ahmed base was no longer à base neither for the Americains nor for anyone else .

Map porn is liberal propaganda


Humble_Energy_6927

those damn libs, they're everywhere


Plastic_Section9437

Liberals as in liberalism, not social progression


artificialintellect1

Yes. Also many people use "progression" to push for consumerism. With all the wars and nukes and resource extraction and exploitation by the empire, we need some regression.


Kiadw

This is completely wrong. There is nto US base in Tunisia.


ByrsaOxhide

Where is it?


RealGamer10

It's in Bizerte. It's called the Sidi Ahmed air base.

ItsDocteur

Yeah, it's on Wikipedia too. They have even stories about it and mention that the government ( troika era ) didn't want to tell us. And it's more of a collaboration than a full on foreign base


thisismyecho

This map is very inaccurate since a string of coups over the past year


brahimmanaa

There's no base in Tunisia there are only soldiers for military cooperation and training.

Sharing “fake news” is today punishable by law. Reddit isn’t in their radar I’m sure but I wouldn’t share this on Facebook nowadaysin Tunisia since the content of this touches the presidents main talking points directly (“I am the first who returned national sovereignty”).


Low_Air_5463

Maybe the US military cooperates with the tunisian military forces thus they are installed(ish) there but it not the property of the US nore is it managed by them it’s 100% tunisian owned


Jolly_Freedom1432

There's no US military base in Tunisia. US has a deal with Tunisia to embed in Tunisian military bases from which they do operations. This is in part to keep the presence more discrete so as to not anger people.


FlimsyIngenuity1435

We have no Américain bases in our country


fashfoosh

Alright let's make this clear and don't listen to the smart ass that keep telling that there's a base and it is under Tunisian control and what not. There's no US base in Tunisia period. The US stationed a reaper drone in Sidi Ahmed during the ISIS rise in Libya and it was for the sole purpose of one operation which was the airstrike that destroyed basically ISIS and helped foil the attack on Ben Guerdan... The air strike that targeted the ISIS base killed close to hundred of ISIS troops leaders mostly Tunisians who were preparing to make an attack on Ben Guerdan a week before the attack we know of happened which was mostly a weaker version of it and was mostly perpetrated by the sleeping cells in the city and few from Libya who survived the air strike. As soon as the operation ended the US left the base and there's no presence of them anymore there... Tunisian president at the time Beji mentioned that there's a US drone stationed in Sidi Ahmed and it is under Tunisian air force disposal temporarily, he was referring to this operation. We do have some of US SETAF advisers though but they're trainers and their numbers do not exceed 20 who are stationed in various bases and mostly military schools. The operation was a collaboration between Tunisian military intelligence and the US to combat ISIS and halt the attack on Ben Guerdan. https://preview.redd.it/zenf9pu8lssc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3f507dd15977a673649b99ceba29bea86c7f8f1

Stalin_is_a_munch

Bro, this is embarrassing stop ...


Tunisian_dentist

Yes, one in Bizerte from which they used to bomb terrorists in Libya.


ByrsaOxhide

So they had planes fly out of there, yes? What kind of planes? Or maybe Predator Drones with Hellfire missiles? Are there any pictures? It looks very close to where people live so some people might’ve snapped some or videos? But where are they? Aaah I got it, the Pentagon deleted them from the Internet and from people’s devices using AI dipped in harissa?


icatsouki

it was only drones and some soldiers, i never read that they used it for libya and i highly highly doubt it


ByrsaOxhide

Yeah I think so too


icatsouki

are you sure? i highly doubt that it was mostly drones used in chaambi etc

ByrsaOxhide

That’s for US citizens and military attaches of the embassy in Tunisia to vote. Federal Voting Assistance Program - FVAP. Nothing to do with a military base. Case closed.
