🚨🇹🇳TUNISIA DISMANTLES MIGRANT CAMPS, BEGINS MASS DEPORTATIONS OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICANS
Tunisian authorities have torn down camps housing over 7,000 sub-Saharan migrants and begun forcibly deporting many, citing public unrest and violence.
The crackdown—confirmed by a senior National Guard official—included arrests, weapons seizures, and the start of large-scale repatriations on Friday night.
Tensions have soared in towns like Amra and Jbeniana, where migrants shelter in forests and frequently clash with locals demanding their removal.
President Kais Saied has accused the influx of migrants of being part of a demographic "conspiracy," a claim that drew sharp condemnation from the African Union.
While human rights groups denounce the campaign as racist and repressive, Italy has praised Tunisia’s role in stopping migrant flows to Europe.
