Tunisian President Kais Saied warns: “Tunisia’s identity is at risk because of the African invasion, and we refuse to be the European Union’s border wall.”
RAIR Fondation President Saied said that “hordes of irregular migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa” had come to Tunisia, “with all the violence, crime, and unacceptable practices that entails”. He said this was an “unnatural” situation and part of a criminal plan designed to “change the demographic make-up” and turn Tunisia into “just another African country that doesn’t belong to the Arab and Islamic nations any more.”
Saied has issued a warning that Tunisia is at risk of undergoing a transformation into an “only African” country, potentially altering its “Arab-Muslim” character due to the mass influx of African illegal immigrants. As a response, Tunisia has implemented measures to reject African migrants, which has generated controversy among far-left pro-migration groups who argue that such actions are rooted in racism.
Tunisian President Kais Saied’s statements concerning the challenges posed by African illegal migrants in the Arab country have garnered significant attention. President Saied has emphasized the need to address these challenges, highlighting the ongoing population exchange in Tunisia and unequivocally asserting that the arrival of Africans has resulted in a notable increase in violence and crime within the nation.

Additionally, the president has characterized illegal migration as a deliberate “criminal enterprise” that emerged at the beginning of the century with the explicit objective of altering Tunisia’s demographic composition. Saied has unequivocally declared that Tunisia will not assume the role of serving as the European Union’s border protection to confine the migrants within its borders.
Thousands of Africans have poured into North African Tunisia, with the migrants’ intention not being to remain in the Arab country but to continue towards the coast to cross the Mediterranean and reach the EU. The Swedish news site, Samnytt, has obtained video clips depicting the chaotic situation of migrants in Tunisia.
Videos illustrating the presence of hundreds of African illegal aliens in the Tunisian port city of Sfax where they are observed maneuvering around in attempts to evade Tunisian police. These illegals can be seen being chased away from various locations and occupying central areas of the city, such as public squares.
According to Amnesty International, Tunisian authorities should ensure an immediate end to the wave of attacks against Black African illegal migrants across Tunisia which started in early February and accelerated following racist and xenophobic comments made by President Kais Saied.
Saied’s discriminatory and hateful remarks triggered an upsurge in anti-Black racist violence, with mobs taking to the streets and attacking Black migrants, students and asylum seekers, and police officers detaining and deporting scores.
Amnesty International interviewed 20 people in Tunis, among them five Muslim asylum seekers and 15 illegal alien Muslim invaders from Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea and Ivory Coast. They were all attacked by mobs, and in at least three cases, the police were present but failed to intervene to stop the attacks or arrest the perpetrators.
Illegal migrants in Tunisia have been attacked after the fatal stabbing of a 41-year-old local Tunisian man during an altercation with several migrants from sub-Saharan Africa. One shows a masked perpetrator screaming that “black Africans are a threat to us and our women” and then inciting people to assault the migrants.
The Tunisian authorities have responded by forcibly removing more than 100 migrants from the city of Sfax and driving them to the Tunisian-Libyan border. A further 1,000 have since been removed from the city and taken to both the Libyan and Algerian borders.
Witnesses described to Amnesty International how, after the president’s speech, Tunisian men, sometimes armed with batons and knives, had taken to the streets of the capital and attacked them or raided their houses.
In several cases, illegal migrant workers and asylum seekers said that they had been forced out of their homes by mobs, and that their belongings had been either stolen or destroyed. Ten told Amnesty International that they had been expelled by their landlords after authorities threatened to punish anyone hosting or employing “illegal migrants.”
Djomo, 30, from Cote d’Ivoire, told Amnesty International that on 5 March, at about 8 pm, he was sleeping in a house in Sfax that he shares with five others, when he heard a loud bang on the door and a group of around 10 men broke in.
“They were armed with batons, some forced two of my flatmates out and beat them until they fell on the floor. Others started destroying everything in the house, they took the money and phones of some of us. The National Guard came 30 minutes later, they didn’t arrest the assailants, but instead handcuffed us and took us to their headquarters.”
Amnesty International reviewed recent videos and photos taken from inside Ouardia, a detention centre in Tunis, showing security agents beating migrants. In one video, officers forcefully dragged a Black man down a flight of stairs.

John Horton says
According to tort law (i.e. the law of negligence) non-Africans have zero obligation to babysit Africans.
JS John says
What hypocrisy. They conquered parts of Africa and forced and killed these Africans to convert. Muslims DO NOT LIKE black people. Mohammed said “If someone says I’m black – kill them.” It’s being talked about by other Muslims on YT. They simply use the black peoples as their soldiers, yet these African Muslims are clueless.
These people need to fix their own countries. And Tunisia? Well, they are Muslims too. So yes, more proof of how they are racists! The OIC says they have 59 countries. Go to those countries, or they have a whole continent of Africa to go to. And the in- fighting of Muslim against Muslim? Not the wests problem! We must stop taking ANY Muslims into our lands.
