Tunisian football fans who threatened to leave the country in protest back home

Five boatloads of Tunisian football fans who had threatened to leave the country in protest at the treatment of their team have returned home.

Around 300 supporters from the town of Chebba were angry that the footballing authorities had banned their club, Croissant Sportif Chebbien, over a bureaucratic matter.

They were so disgusted that they said they would migrate to Europe, and headed off in a flotilla.

But they came back after a day at sea, saying they had received assurances from the authorities that the dispute involving the club would be settled soon.
