Tunisians rally against president's anti-immigrant crackdown
Guardian, 26 Feb 2023
Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Tunisia's capital on Saturday to protest against President Kais Saied's anti-immigrant crackdown. Saied accused sub-Saharan African immigrants of being part of a plot to change the country's demographics during a speech on Tuesday, which has since led to a surge in anti-immigration sentiment.
One of the protesters who marched on Saturday said being targeted on the streets of Tunis because of skin colour had become common, while another said of Saied's speech: 'He broke something in Tunisia.' The speech has been condemned by the US, France and the African Union
