Why people from sub-Saharan Africa are facing violent attacks in Tunisia | DW News

Black migrants in Tunisia are living in fear after the president stirred hostility towards them. His government claims it's all a misunderstanding. But the victims tell a different story.
Tunisia is seeing a surge in racist attacks on people from sub-Saharan Africa after the country's president alleged black migrants were part of an international plot to change the country's demographic makeup.
Many of the migrants arriving in Tunisia come from Ivory Coast, Mali or Senegal. Migration to Tunisia has increased in recent years, as it's considered safer than neighboring Libya. Some move on to Europe, but others end up staying.
Official figures show the country of 12 million is currently home to 21 thousand migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa. Now many are finding they're no longer welcome.
