Tunisia rejects accusations of mistreatment of Black refugees

Tunisia’s president has rejected criticism of his government’s treatment of Black African refugees after hundreds were rounded up by authorities and left on the border with Libya.
President Kais Saied said on Sunday the refugees were receiving humane treatment stemming from what he called “our values”.
Refugees, however, say they have been left to tackle the desert heat with little food or water.
Tunisia, which is a major migration route to Europe, has come under criticism from rights groups after authorities rounded up refugees and asylum seekers and expelled them to a remote buffer zone at Tunisia’s border with Libya.

Al Jazeera’s Malik Traina reports from the Libyan-Tunisia border.

Why don't their home governments fly them back home?

[patrussell]

These people belong in their own country whose leaders are failing their own citizens Other nations should not have the burden of maintaining people suffering neglect by inept or careless leaders

Why were this people migrating ?is it war or famine. If not Tunisia has the right to chase them away. Subsaharan africa is full of resources including good climate . Why should aperson migrate an example from Kenya to Tunisia looking for what. Africans we should stop begging and disturbing other countries we are very rich in terms of resources, we can grow food throughout the year so why move from paradise to a desert.

What are they talking about ofc we give them food and water in tunisia but the reason is why they brought them here to bring them back where they came from theres a completely missunderstoods so seconth some of them had started to kill tunisians or basically citizens people than it started to escalate fast as some of them are responsible as sfax now looks destroyed a bit but i can understand that it is rude that some of them that have lived 2 years in tunisia that they got expelled from tunisia as some of them are nice to us but as i said those migrants outside the streets, we give them also food this guy may havent experienced that but eating poor cats is sad so what is the solution? Do not cause troubles, go to the airline station and buy a Ticket to fly back to your country or ask for money nicely not just stealing someones money! Etc. Anyway, s just dont cause troubles when to go back to your country! Also its not meant to be rude .

they are all trying to get in to Europe but it is already full.

You're not rude, you are honest about who you are, like the ones who ordered them to be taken to places to die.

World is finally waking up to the curse of "migrants."

[Yasmin_]

But to see that they refused to let them in is sad i hope they will have a chance to escape tunisia

[tarstarkusz]

Good. I wish we would follow their lead. They're not wanted anywhere for a reason.

[mkenya_mzalendo]

so even in africa they are now regarded as BLACK not African anymore .. The more things change, the more they remain the same hehehe

[rocketracoon]

Réfugiés ou clandestins? Faudrait utilisés les bon termes

[ridhod]

Where is BLM people ?😅
Why they dn help their kind

[rajasekhare]

The international community particularly OIC, Arab league, African union, muslim councils of occupied north Africa etc should take care of them. Free North Africa from apartheid.

[bigpuppydoctrine]

We will leave in peace and we will leave together as Africa our mother land no one is superior than others

[GlacieraBrde]

They need to start making their country better instead of going to other countries.

World community should Avoid using this word BLACK, instead identify them by their country or continent name.
