Tunisian authorities have sentenced sub-Saharan migrants to prison terms for carrying out violence while removing their tents from the capital.
Tunisian authorities face warnings from a number of politicians about exploiting this controversial phenomenon, some of whom consider it an “imminent danger” that could lead to the extension of President Kais Saied’s presidential term and the postponement of elections expected next fall.
The Tunisian authorities removed all tents erected by irregular African migrants in the capital and relocated them to other areas far from the capital.
The southeastern province of Sfax witnessed demonstrations demanding the rapid evacuation of thousands of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa in the region, with demonstrators raising slogans condemning the resettlement policy and emphasizing land and identity rights.
Saber al-Benbli, the first accredited officer in Beja province, said there is no intention to settle migrants in the region, stressing the importance of tightening control over them.
Some political voices warn of the worsening of the situation, saying that it requires international and regional coordination to find comprehensive solutions, while the government has made statements calling for international cooperation to address the challenges of irregular migration.
It should be noted that these events come in the context of the ongoing efforts of the Tunisian authorities in addressing the security and economic challenges facing the country.
