World Bank halts Tunisia program amid migrant crackdown • FRANCE 24 English

The World Bank suspends work with Tunisia over a spike in racist attacks fuelled by an inflammatory speech by President Kais Saied. In Nigeria, the opposition party leads peaceful protests in condemnation of the electoral commission's handling of last month's flawed Presidential election. And a few hours after Michelin Guide's ceremony, we hear from a South African top chef about her appreciation of the continent's finest foodie offerings.

This is a great first step. The AU should also expel Tunisia from the African Union.

I am a black African from Ghana. And I support the Tunisian govt. 100%. Every country must build itself up. If thousands of undocumented Tunisian turned up in any sub Saharan country they would be arrested jailed attacked. I wonder why Tunisia is supposed to tolerate this.
As for the world bank. That is a benefit to Tunisia. World bank is there to extract profit they are not there to "help" any country. Show me a country that followed world bank and moved from poor to middle income to wealthy. Not one. Zero. World bank is a For-profit business using predatory loans and conditions but is advertised that they are helping poorer countries. Not true.

The script writes itself, actions are louder than words.

Kumbaya, good vibes, love and peace.
I leave that for the children.

Who knew that the northers don’t consider themselves Africans who saw this coming 😂

[tbrucechebore]

I am a Kenyan, I am against racism but why does The WEST report this news in Tunisia more than it could report in Britain or France if the same could happen in those countries?!!!!, . I think something is cooking

[I_am_UpsideDown]

the World Bank... seriously? THAT should tell you all you need to know.

[danghannahdang]

It's amazing how these giant organizations can control the population and their culture and decisions they make in society by strangling them financially.

[victoriabrown]

When people show you who they are believe them!

[mariajason]

Meanwhile Tunisians in Germany and Netherlands....😂😂😂😂😂
Ooooh this life is so funny

[KORNABLOCK]

WOW. This is the most racist policy I have heard this year. African countries need to stand against Tunisia and trade needs to stop by other countries with Tunisia. The silence of Europe, Africa, and the west is deafening. If military action is needed against Tunisia then that is what should be done.

[fuwa]

The comment sections prove North Africa is right about "subsaharan".

[GotoHere]

Who made the World Bank the world governing body of immigration?

[travelingjohn]

to accuse Tunisia of racism makes no sense when multiple empires have passed through is the very thing that makes someone racist. imperialism is the root of racism.

[erickmunge]

I love your necklace. Kenyan flag colours🇰🇪

[barbaraakinbowale]

They don't have to accused Tunisia's president of racism, because his actions and outcomes speaks for themselves and are clear evidence.

[kwakuba]

So when are they sending weapons missiles ammunition sanctions etc to help those people? Or only Ukraine or a European people gets that free benefits? Africans must learn and build their countries. BY THEMSELVES. Simple.

[MegaMorphus]

Good for Tunisia, wish the west would be so honest

[salimusumareh]

Thank you may Allah protect the others too

[kampalatakeaway]

Ummmh what has world bank done for Africa. ? Am just asking, i never learnt this in school n i have grown not seeing more debts n big currencies of africa against small currencies of others, value is another story

[Tee-rqzn]

Home sweet home. It's best to stay home & build your countries. Go other countries legally.
