Rights Groups Condemn President's Remarks About Measures Against Influx of Irregular Migrants: Tunisia
Tunis/Tunisia — Civil society groups in Tunisia, on Wednesday, spoke out against what they call"inciting speech" of president Kais Saied against migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.
They considered that the president's speech could contribute to rising violence, crime, and more forms of racial discrimination. This situation, he noted, is highly abnormal, with the continued influx of these migrants resulting in an increase in crime, violence, and other reprehensible practices. It is unacceptable and requires immediate intervention to restore order and security to the region.
A large number of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa have arrived in Tunisia legally, including students, investors and others, she added.
