Description

The wave of racist violence sweeping Tunisia is unlike anything in recent memory. The attacks follow a speech by Tunisia’s President Kais Saied accusing African migrants of conspiring to make Tunisia more African and less Arab. This is the latest in a string of authoritarian moves by the President, and it has protesters back out in the street. But what will happen to the victims of this racism in the meantime?
In this episode: 

Alpha Turay, a refugee from Sierra Leone living in Tunisia
Fadil Aliriza (@FadilAliriza), founder and editor-in-chief of @meshkaltn
