On Tuesday (April 11th), Tunisian police tried to dislodge dozens of migrants from the vicinity of the offices of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Nigeriens, Sudanese, Guineans and Ivorians had found refuge in this district of Tunis. The migrants are seeking international protection after some of them lost their jobs and homes following controversial speeches by Tunisian President Kais Saïed about their presence on national soil last February.
The interior ministry said the migrants' relocation took place at the request of UNHCR's Tunis office.
