Smaller and in a more precarious position vis-à-vis Libya, Tunisia has consistently made efforts to align with Algeria.[1] In the 1970s, Tunisia reversed its position on the Western Sahara so as not to antagonize Algerian authorities.[1] Tunisia was the first nation to sign the Treaty of Fraternity and Concord with Algeria, in 1983.[1] Throughout Algeria's independent history, it has joined in a number of economic ventures with Tunisia, including the transnational pipeline running from Algeria through Tunisia to Italy.[1] In 1987 the departure from power in Tunisia of President Habib Bourguiba and his replacement by the more diplomatic Zine el Abidine Ben Ali brought the two nations closer again.[1]
