The World Bank has suspended its partnership with Tunisia after the President of Tunisia denounced the hoards of illegal migrants near the end of February which stirred up violence and discrimination against them. The President of the World Bank, David Malpass, said that public comments that stir up violence against the migrants are completely unacceptable. He says that the security and inclusion of the migrants are central to the values of the World Bank, which Tunisia is not accepting. This decision concerns the Country Partnership Framework (CPF) which monitors and assesses the control in supporting and aiding the welfare programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On February 21 Tunisian President Kals Saied said that “urgent measures” were required with dealing with the flux of illegal immigrants from Sub-saharan Africa. He claims these migrants were a “criminal enterprise hatched at the dawn of the century to change the demographic composition of Tunisia.” These comments were highly criticized by many NGO and human rights activist groups. There is also a spike in panic among Sub-saharan migrants following the fact that many of them were being attacked and have been captured and sent back to their homeland. According to the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights, Tunisia, which has 12 million inhabitants, is home to more than 21,000 Sub-saharan nationals and most of them are in an irregular situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These NGO and human rights groups are international organizations that seek to secure the rights of those who are facing difficult situations by displacement from their homeland. They seek to secure justice and safety of these people and are working to ensure that this comes to an end. The African Union has also said that there are racial motivations in keeping out these migrants. Saeid also claims that there is a great replacement theory going on to replace the political elites with immigrant supporters and turn Tunisia into an ethnic melting pot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
