Speaking to Tunisie Numérique, Abderrahmane Al-Hadili, the head of the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights, voiced his condemnation of the state’s policy towards illegal immigrants from sub-Saharan African countries.
H noted that Africans who are in Tunisia live in daily suffering in the absence of any vision or concept for the state, which has caused this situation to shift into confrontations with security units, and the expulsion of groups of migrants either towards the Libyan or the Algerian borders, as a reaction to what occurred in the Al-Amera region.
Our speaker emphasised that the preoccupation of public opinion with what is happening in Palestine and with the aggression against Gaza has exacerbated these practices, to the point that the forum is no longer able to understand or comprehend what is occurring, and it considers that the behaviour of the authority is not completely clear.
On the other hand, Al-Hudhaili underlined that there is no room for negligence in this issue because the forum has an entire section whose mission is to follow up on the file of Tunisian and African illegal immigrants, calling in the same context for the need of finding solutions to this crisis, taking into account the humanitarian aspect.
