Racism and Misinformation Plague Tunisia Under President's Leadership
TL;DR Summary
Tunisia is facing a surge in public expressions of racism against sub-Saharan African migrants, coinciding with an influx of migrants using the country as a transit point to Europe. Critics blame President Kais Saied for unleashing xenophobia and exposing the dark underbelly of anti-Black racism in the country. Saied's theory about a plot to change the racial makeup of the country echoes the Great Replacement theory, a popular theme in White supremacist and right-wing discourse in Europe and North America that accuses elites of using immigration to replace the native population.
