Hundreds of West African migrants flee #Tunisia after President #Saied’s controversial crackdown

#Africa #Racism #Politics

Some 300 West African migrants were set to leave Tunisia on repatriation flights Saturday, fearful of a wave of violence since President Kais Saied delivered a controversial tirade last month.

In his February 21 speech, Saied ordered officials to take "urgent measures" to tackle irregular migration, claiming without evidence that "a criminal plot" was underway "to change Tunisia's demographic makeup".

Saied charged that migrants were behind most crime in the North African country, fuelling a spate of sackings, evictions and physical attacks against the community.

The African Union expressed "deep shock and concern at the form and substance" of Saied's remarks, while governments in sub-Saharan Africa scrambled to organise the repatriation of hundreds of fearful nationals who flocked to their embassies for help.

The West African states of #Guinea and #IvoryCoast are repatriating hundreds of their citizens from #Tunisia, officials said Wednesday, after Tunisian President Kais #Saied triggered a storm by accusing sub-Saharan migrants of crime

This is the disgusting trick by the criminal man in charge of Tunisia to use hate as deflection

Ende Juli 2022 hat Kais #Saied sein vorläufiges Ziel erreicht. Sein einen Monat zuvor vorgelegter Verfassungsentwurf wird per Referendum angenommen. Die neue Verfassung ist stark auf den Präsidenten ausgerichtet, um den sich eine Vielzahl untergeordneter und abhängiger Gremien schart. Damit setzt sich der Trend zur #Autokratie wenig überraschend fort. Auch sieht die Verfassung vor, dass der Präsident die gesamte Exekutiv- und Regulierungsgewalt ausübt, das Parlament auflösen kann und ihm das Kabinett rechenschaftspflichtig ist.
