Tunisian groups warned Tuesday about a
“wave of hate” against sub-Saharan
Africans in the wake of the national
team’s loss to host Equatorial Guinea in
the African Nations Cup.
A questionable penalty call in the final
minutes of Saturday’s game allowed
Equatorial Guinea to equalize the score and
then win in extra time, provoking on-field
brawls involving coaches and players.
An association of African students in Tunisia
said there had been at least a dozen attacks
in the capital and the southern city of Sfax
against the sub-Saharan community since
the game.
For its part, the liberal Afek Tounes political
party denounced “acts of violence” against
Africans living in the country.
“These acts contradict our own African
belonging and our principles of
brotherhood and hospitality,” it said in a
statement.
According to Yamina Thabet, who heads the
Tunisian Association in Support of
Minorities, there were attacks against dark-
skinned Tunisians as well, underlying the
racist rather than just xenophobic nature of
the incidents.
She told The Associated Press that the “wave
of hate” was particularly pronounced on
social media with calls for enslaving blacks
and letting them be killed by the radical
group Boko Haram.
She said Tunisia needed a law penalizing
racism.
Many sub-Saharan Africans travel to North
Africa for education, jobs or seeking travel
to Europe and many complain of racism and
discrimination at the hands of lighter-
skinned locals.
