Some have been brought to the border with Libya, but authorities are not letting them enter.
They have been stranded without food or water.

Migrants from so many Failed African States must go thru Proper channels for their own safety. The Governments of Africa must also be held accountable for the Dire state of affairs that their Corruption has caused for their People. 😞💔
Europe must apologize to Africa and world because they are responsible for the world problems they have been looted the world
Where is the international community?
hypocrite.. as soon as western countries arrive you tell them to get out.. what sort of f***** in the head liar are you.. why are you not asking Russia, the Middle East and China.. I could say where is the AU but you have already made a mess in your nappy and now running for the exit – correct ?
International community aka the European WM.
@Daniel Revelation Chess Woman Master?
Tunisia shouldn’t abandon them(if they can do so)!
لا اله الا الله تونس لديها مشاكل اقتصادية و الأفارقة اسوء يزيدون الطين بلة و اروبا تضغط على تونس
@Mhsin Aissani There are Babies
@SoulsMouls I agree with you we have migrant in Morocco also and they do have a lot of babies . Allah will protect them incha Allah
It is unbelievably Disgusting that nations still do this to people in the modern era. There’s absolutely no excuse 😤
Well let me ask you question. Are these people stateless? Where are the embassies representing these people? Number one problem is the country they camefrom that abandoned them to their fate.
@Alex Shatneris Poland, Bulgaria and Czech republic in third world? Worse than this happen.
I’d call Tunisia a I’d would say a second world country that don’t want to become third world
Wow I’ve been going to Tunisia for 15 years and I’ve never seen this before. What a shame it comes to colour!!
What I’d unhcr doing? They should feed and house them
This is a despicable and intolerable thing. This is a wicked act against the African diaspora and these people have never been treated like this. This acts were fueled by xenophobia, and thus, this should be corrected
Tunisia is African you cretin and they’re Africans … it isn’t the responsibility of Tunisia to give these people a living like it isn’t Europeans and the west’s role acting as a overflow for the rest of the world’s detritus .
That’s right! You illegally move from your country to another, feeling selfishly entitle to do so, because you want to, with no regard whether their people like it or not, and have the gull to call them xenophobic if they rightly object. Are you surprised of the reason why nobody wants you?
i am literally a tunisian from sfax this country is literally poor and its ppl already suffering poverty and these ppl here are everywhere and some of them are already causing troubles and killing people
u have to understand the situation before blaming it on race, im justifying whats happening tho
@Kutterr it is nothing to do with race (it is where they happened to be born – which is not the same thing, although it could be – but it’s not)… the one overriding cause is a population explosion driven by religion and cultural values… nothing else… even Tunisia has gone from 4 million in 1960 to 12 million now – imagine what Tunisia would be like with 4 million people now ? I think you would find it would be a much better place – you want to tell me I am wrong and debate this issue ?… it is just that “most” African countries are the same, but there are exclusions as far as I know, such as Mauritius and the Seychelles. Also people with African genetics brought up without religious indoctrination and animal like cultural values perform as well as any other “race” hence my assertion it is not an issue of genetics (race). Also young people in Africa are indoctrinated by politicians to “blame the White man” and also the disgusting activists. But then there are disgusting activists of all races. People who like to play the racist cards ARE the racists themselves and it’s strange when I point this out to them, they never reply – why is that you think ?
Where are they from?
Mostly Subsahara Africa
Dmn ara b is relentless
Well every country should protect itself
Rightly so, time to go back home. Europe needs to also send the Turkish,Syrians, Algerians and Moroccans back to their countries too.
And you keep crying about Palestine. Let isreal deal with Arabs
Wooow this why Africa will never make heaven, Arab ar the most dangerous people in this world, you fighting Africains in Africa, really shame on you Tunisiens Stupid
Why don’t Sierra Leone help them?!
Germany invited all Africans and Arabs so they are coming
Arabs,huh?
Why is Super Power Islamic State of Pakistan is not helping them .
Why are ummat silent on this .
Where is Pakistan The Leader of Islamic world .
Sad to see this
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Pakistanis are also fleeing their country how can they help them?
Pakistan is still begging the western backed IMF for a loan.. bunch of thick sick hypocrites..
Why should Pakistan or Tunisia help subsaharian christians?
Looks nice
Black African leader the should be ashamed of himself man letting the own people be mistreated like this today I’m ashamed being black African African union African Union should sanction Tunisia and kick them out of African Union this is bulshit
why their country take back them in their home it’s not the tunisian people job wake up !!!!
Ignorant, are you Muslim? Don’t you know the Quran talks about helping ibn asaberl? The poor , the travelers and those in need?
Africain countries have to sent planes to take back their people instead of blaiming tunisia .
You are talking as if we invited this people and then mistreated them .
They crossed the desert and wanted to storm into our borders
You act like these African migrants are babies and can’t make decisions by themselves, this is a racist mentality. They need to fix their own problems and not expect a free pass to the west. They made the decision to attempt to travel illegally so let them live by their choices.
Washington did not express its concern about France’s arrest of the rioters in France, which caused them damage and concern, because Tunisia arrested the rioters in Tunisia!???? Western racism, may God curse you and your Arab agents, like Qatari pigs and their puppet Arab channels
You are a disgusting racist if you think the treatment of these migrants is okay. May Allah guide you. In Islam we are tolerant and kind. Many Tunisians have a reputation for being xenophobic and racist towards sub Saharans.
لم تعرب واشنطن على قلقها من اعتقال فرنسا للمشاغبين بفرنسا مما الحقوه من اضرار وقلقة لان تونس اعتقلت المشاغبين بتونس !؟؟؟؟ العنصرية الغربية قبحكم الله انتم وعملاؤكم العرب كالخنازر القطرية و قنواتها العربية العميلة.الشعب التونسي يطالب بترحيل المجرمين الافارقة الءين يقتلون في كل مرة تونسي او سنطالب كشعب السلطات التونسية بفتح السواحل البحرية والسماح لهم بدخول اوروبا
as an arab, this is the cause of authoritarian regimes ,enabled by their sponsors in Europe, we are in civil war with these scumbags who want us to remain backward corrupt states, deal with them humanely and if they want Europe ,it’s non of your business to protect someone else by violating UN charters.
Go to Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain 🇧🇭 and Dubai
No, they are in Tunisia. The government should do it’s Islamic and humanitarian duty . If it can’t , it should ask the UN , but to throw them in the desert to die from thirst is a wicked evil and selfish act
Selfish people like you make the world a bad place
@forest man oh, and this is nothing to do with the AU.. – what sort of cheap fraud are you ?
No food for a few days and they will head home.
And who is going to give them transportation to go back to Thier countries? You?
what the heck is happening to this world man, ubelievable, no rest
This is absolutely unacceptable, they are human beings, where is the compassion from the Tunisian people, I have heard you are merciful people, have mercy 😞
There are tunisian assotiations who are helping on other areas but it is a lot , sfax city is flooded with migrants who want to cross to europe .
We are facing serious economic crises , our people are already suffering , we cannot deal with that .
Europe want to stop them from crossing and throw the problem in our faces
And how is God going to help Tunisia with it’s economy and unemployment problem if you all are going to oppress vulnerable and poor people like that? If any thing bad happens to Tunisia, it will be well deserved
@may braik “throw the problem in your face”… if it was the other way round and you were trying to stop Europeans getting to Tunisia, you would be ranting and raving if Italy was trying to say you were throwing the problem in Italy’ face – you thick sick hypocrite.. disgusting and why Europe does not want any more trash from Africa… and as regards the “problem” people like you are the problem… no intellect and always running around trying to find someone else to blame for your own pathetic failures.. try Tunisia population 1960 = 4 million, now 12 million, you think ignorant fool…
@may braik Your brother from Morocco is with you.
@forest man How can you support subsaharian christians who rape tunisian muslim women? Shame on you.
Who invited them
These people come from stable countries like Ivory Coast and Nigeria
Not only stable countries but coutries whose economy is better than tunisia
Nigeria stable looooooool
No Ivory Coast and Nigeria are both way way poorer than Tunisia
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 For the people struggling for a better life. They know they can starve and drown risking to get to Europe where they are hated even more so so so sad
you want to explain why they have no problem in having lots of children.. – thought not, you are just another delusions fraud.. now run for the exit like all your sort do.. you are not capable of being honest and facing reality.. and that is pathetic – now which bit did I get wrong ???
A disgrace. They let some in from other countries, but refuse to help these people. I wonder why? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
Maybe if they don’t violating women, they’were not expulsed.
Go ahead blame the victims, it was your people raping the African women. They are strangers in the country why would they be coming to start trouble
@forest man gross who wants a black african woman😵
Al Jazeera needs to correct it’s headline.. to “Illegal Migrants”…
Africans dont even want Africans =)
Tunisia please show mercy to these people let them be safe. This is pathetic. Thanks God bless everyone
No😂
tunisia is not even showing mercy to its own :dd
Where are those who want a borderless Africa? Is that theory only applicable to South Africa? Let’s hear the chorus..”AFRICA IS ONE””. Demand to be let into these African-Arab countries as you do to us. Why is “BROTHER MALEMA “silent? Why doesn’t he tell those wanderers to use “creative means”? Where’s the Pan African Parliament? What exactly is the function of the PAP? Let’s c some action. Let’s hear some voices denouncing this XENOPHOBIA!
Good job Tunisia. Arabs aren’t playing around. This isn’t the soft west where they treat these people like precious little babies.
I’m ashamed of Tunisia to treat people like this. It’s what happens when brainwashing and misinformation is rampant.
Do worry Arabs are spread out too. The same will happen when you go to Europe but worse! So very good job Tunisian. Keep following the people that really hates you.
I think Africa country government should be responsible for there citizens every country should take back its people.
@mohammadabdul590, should we say the same about North Africans who are being mistreated in Europe?… That their countries should come and collect them?
@Katlego Did It as a north African I say yes they should take them back and specially Algerians
Hungry and Ukraine are more corrupt than Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Rwanda, Botswana.
Most of Eastern Europe is more war torn and corrupt than Africa.
@katlegodidit3494 you are right ✅️ 👏
@Katlego Did Itust some days ago an algerian was shot dead. You are the last ones who can teach us moral lessons.
Tunisia is not real islamic. They want to be like Europeans
Zero sympathy.
maybe DO NOT COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, TUNISIA IS NOT THE US OR EUROPE,WE OURSELVES CAN BARELY SURVIVE HERE,THERE’S LITERALLY NO PLACE FOR YOU HERE,LEAVE US ALONE.
When theyre attacking locals with machetes what do you expect ….
True some of them are criminals we have some in Morocco they made some huge mistakes I kind of don’t blame Tunisia
@Mhsin Aissani They come with tales of woe, desperation and despair then don’t have the respect a nation giving charity deserve … the sheer entitlement
I don’t think that’s true at all. They Africans did not come to Tunisia to cause trouble, they are only trying to survive and get to Europe but your people are the ones bullying, harassing , and attacking them, it is not the Africans the ones starting the trouble and if the Africans are being attacked by racists it is a basic human right to be able to defend yourself
@forest man well they slaughtered an entire family to steal their house,
@forest manyou realize Tunisians are africans too right?
European should do the something against North African
every one hats them. there not white. but JESUS LOVE THEM A MEN
They wanted to go to Libya and cross again to go to Europe. They weren’t stuck, they wanted to be in this kind of situation it is intentional for crying out loud.
Go to caliph Turkey
Come in India
Indian women are not satisfied with micro pen**is
Why india dont invite its african brothers both black as 💩
Stupid indian kn__ee gr__ow😂
They are christians.
For those who don’t know the illigal migrants are stealing in sfax , making problems , stabbing people , fighting with knifes in the middle of the streets . they are working in trafic , selling drugs and fake currency and always trying to bring as much as they can from their countries to put them in boats and send them to europe for money .
That’s soo sad
Migrants should enter any country with proper documents, Black people are lazy they want to enter your country to have free food 🍲 and everything for free, letting them into your country is to invite crime, vandalism, sickness, corruption, roberry, rape & the list careson, they must go back & build their country but because they are lazy they want things be done for them 🙄
They don’t want to be in Tunisia
This is why migrants are being forced to come to Europe. Disgraceful of them to do this
So they left them there to die from starvation and dehydration 😢😢
They choose to go there uninvited, who cares
Aljazeera is a quatari channel, they should be the last one talking about human rights, since we all know how the gulf countries treat migrants from Asia and Africa.
I’m for helping those migrants to reach their final destination ( Europe)
Os tunisinos devem perceber que eles serão sempre tratados como africanos no Ocidente
Arabs and Anglo-Saxon the 400 hundred years are over…judgment is coming your way…Bible prophecy
come to China. They offer free tuition and full scholarship with cute girls helping you with your study in your private room
😂😂😂
Tunis doing good job👍
These migrants need to go back home and make their country great again.
I agree but migrants are everywhere. And people who are born and raised in that country where do they go. Maybe if we did our history and stop going in their country to corrupt it and mess it up then maybe migrants won’t need to move! Education and knowledge is power!!!
@Davina gold-udi First Africans wanted Europe out, LOL!! Now they are doing risky boat trips to go back to whitey!!! LOL!!!!
I supoort this 100% need to discourage peipoe from taking the risk as the current rate of migration is totally unsustainble.
Qatar spend 1200 billion $ for football. They should invest for muslim brothers and sister’s all around the world.
Morocco was one but I never thought Tunisia was like this. Wow the whole world would watch. So sad
Wow in Tunisia!!! The world is watching. What a shameful moment.
they need to stop making children and the wold need to make sure its the last generation
sounds harsh but they are just savages in a civilized world
May Jesus shield Tunisia from the evil invading migrants
It’s time for Africa counties to step up not the west
Aljazeera should take those migrants to Qatar. Tunisia has enough problems as it is.
