Algeria–Tunisia border

The Algeria–Tunisia border is 1,034 km (642 mi) in length and runs from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the tripoint with Libya in the south.

Toward the middle it curves west, and in the southern sections of the border straight lines predominate, which eventually veer to the south-east down to the tripoint with Libya.

[2] France occupied much of the northern coastal areas of Algeria in the period 1830-47 and Tunisia in 1881, both of which had hitherto been subject to the nominal control of the Ottoman Empire.

[2] The border from the coast south to Bir Ramane was established by various French decrees, notably those of 1888-89 and 1901.

The two states then confirmed the existing boundary between them by an agreement of 6 January 1960, with relations generally being positive.
