		</div><p>Tunisian authorities have extended a state of emergency in place since 2015, citing a persistent threat of extremist violence from neighbouring Libya and elsewhere.</p>
<p>The Tunisian president&#8217;s office announced the three-month extension in a statement on Thursday.</p>
<p>Defence minister Farhat Horchani said this week that despite frequent government operations to dismantle extremist cells, &#8220;as long as Libya doesn&#8217;t have a government that can control the situation, the threat exists&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tunisia has built a sand wall along half the desert border with Libya, and received six US combat helicopters this month aimed at helping the North African country fight terrorism.</p>
<p>Tunisia was hit by a string of extremist attacks targeting tourists and the presidential guard in 2015, and an unusually high number of Tunisians have joined Islamic State.</p>
