Tunis is seldomly mentioned as a belligerent in the articles and usually just lumped as part of the ottoman empire in north africa. I also found this extract from the book of french historian Henry Durant in 1858, Notice sur la régence de Tunis, page 16: "Tunis, in general, did not indulge in piracy like Algiers: if later, it also had some corsairs, it was only to defend itself against the Christians, more barbarians at that time than the Africans, since the piracy was still a trade among Cypriots, Catalans, Sicilians, Venetians, Pisans and Genoese."
From french "Tunis, en général, ne se livrait pas comme Alger à la piraterie: si plus tard elle eut aussi quelques corsaires, ce ne fut que pour se défendre contre les chrétiens, plus barbares à cette époque que les Africains, puisque la piraterie était encore un métier chez les Cypriotes, les Catalans, les Siciliens, les Vénitiens, les Pisans et les Génois." [1]
If so I would like to remove it as a belligerent in this conlict.
