The unrest erupted after the funeral of a 41-year-old Tunisian man who was stabbed to death Monday in Sfax in an altercation between locals and migrants.

They are grown, health, young, strong men leaving behind helpless women and children. Why don’t they build up their country instead of running away from it ?
