Growing tensions in Sfax sparked by Tunisian govt’s inflammatory rhetoric targeting African migrants

Racial tensions in the Tunisian coastal city of Sfax flared into violence targeting migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, dozens of whom were forcibly evicted from the city or fled. Amid the disturbances late Tuesday, police detained some migrants and deported them as far as the Libyan border more than 300 kilometres (over 200 miles) away, according to a local rights group.
