Though officially slavery is outlawed everywhere, in Africa hundreds of thousands of blacks are still enslaved by Arab masters. In Mali, there are up to 800,000, in Niger there are 45,000, and in Mauritania, which in 1981 became the last country to abolish slavery, there are over 100,000. No one raises the matter at the UN General Assembly, no Special Rapporteur has been appointed to study the “situation of black African slaves in Muslim lands.”
In Tunisia, black Africans — both those who have arrived in order to then try to make it to Europe by boat, and those whose families have been in Tunisia for generations (15% of Tunisians are black) – find themselves the object of racist attacks by individual Tunisian Arabs and by the Tunisian government. The Tunisian President has deplored the presence of so many black Africans who, he claims, are “overrunning” the country; sub-Saharan migrants have been arrested for the “crime of being black,” and now the police have been taking black Africans to desert areas, near the borders inhospitable with Algeria and Libya. There they are left without food and water, to fend for themselves. The local population has been instructed not to feed them.
More on this murderous Arab racism in Tunisia can be found here: “Bodies of migrants found dead at Tunisia-Algeria border,” The New Arab, July 12, 2023:
The bodies of two migrants have been found in a desert region near Tunisia’s border with Algeria, a judicial official and a witness said on Tuesday.
Hundreds of migrants from sub-Saharan countries have fled or been forced out of Tunisia’s port city of Sfax after racial tensions flared following the 3 July killing of a Tunisian man in an altercation between locals and migrants.
Many have been left to fend for themselves in harsh conditions in remote desert areas near Tunisia’s borders with Algeria and with Libya….
“Both bodies are of men, and rescuers have recovered the one found yesterday,” a witness, who declined to be identified for security reasons, added.
The witness, a local merchant, told AFP that in one week two convoys were seen transporting migrants to the desert, with nearly 100 left in the vicinity of Hazoua [in the desert]….
The immediate cause of death of black Africans in the southern deserts and western forests of Tunisia: dehydration and starvation. The underlying cause: the racism of Tunisian Arabs, who rid themselves of their “black problem” by rounding black Africans up, even those who have been gainfully employed and are no burden on the state, and dropping them in the desert, or in some cases, in the forested mountains in Kasserine governorate, near the border with Algeria. Word gets out about this savage treatment, and this discourages other black Africans from arriving in Tunisia.
Youssouf Bilayer, 25, of Ivory Coast, told AFP on Tuesday that he was arrested on 4 July in Sfax where he had worked for four years as a welder and was taken to the Gafsa area near the border with Algeria….
“We are suffering a lot. We were able to find a little water in the forest, but we’ve got nothing to eat. The police won’t let people give us food,” Bilayer said….
The Tunisian police won’t let simple charity be practiced – Tunisians are instructed not to give the black Africans food. This is a policy of deliberate starvation of black migrants.
The police block all attempts by the blacks to return to the cities of Tunis and Sfax, keeping them in the forest or desert where they are certain to die of starvation and dehydration.
Tunisia has seen a rise in racially motivated attacks after President Kais Saied in February accused “hordes” of undocumented migrants of bringing violence to the country, and alleging a “criminal plot” to change its demographic make-up.
There is no “criminal plot” by black Africans to “change the demographic make-up” of Tunisia. All that these black Africans — the new arrivals, not the blacks who have always lived in Tunisia (where they suffer every conceivable indignity at the hands of racist Arabs who confine them to menial jobs) — want is to be able to leave the port of Sfax on the boats of Arab smuggling gangs for their final destination: Europe. But often a long wait is required. These black Africans, given no help from the state, find work doing the tough jobs Tunisians prefer to avoid, including construction and sanitation. Tunisians are raised to despise and hate the black Africans, and there are sometimes physical attacks on the blacks, who try to defend themselves. When a Tunisian was recently killed in Sfax during such a street fight, the government came down hard with a collective punishment, rounding up hundreds of innocent blacks and forcibly taking them to the border with Algeria, where they were left without food or water, and what’s more, the police instructed the locals not to offer the black Africans food.
How do the Tunisians escape condemnation? They have the political protection afforded them by the other 21 members of the Arab League, and by the 56 other members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Neither at the UN Human Rights Council, nor at the General Assembly, have the matter of Arab enslavement of blacks, or of Arab anti-black racism, ever been raised, nor will they ever be.

If Tunisia does not want Blacks in their country, they should simply announce that they will not be a transit point for migrants to Europe. That should resolve that issue!
PMK says
We’ll never see stories like this in the American press because it doesn’t fit into the narrative.
Wellington says
Damn right, PMK.
somehistory says
If the word got out that all of the Blacks arriving, and some with jobs, are being treated this way, ending up dead from starvation and without even water, perhaps fewer Blacks from Africa would be trying to get to Europe though tunisia.
This is a case of True racism. The Blacks in America who whine about racism…even in the use of “fonts” and “hairstyles,” should take a look at tunisia.

Some time ago I saw an interview of a Tunisian inhabitant on the street. He was asked what he thought of all the Africans coming to his country. He answered: ‘My grandfather traded in them.’ I’m not kidding.

White majority countries are the safest places for non whites. Obvious from immigration patterns.

I don’t blame Tunisia. Take a quick look at any white majority country that accepted black migrants escaping the holes they lived in only to bring into our countries in a single generation criminality, violence, greivance, & endless claims of racism to get what they want.

To be fair, it’s usually second or subsequent generations of Black migrants who do what you describe, usually taking their cues from the native Black population that has been corrupted by pandering Left-leaning parties. But the first immigrants – the legal ones, that is – are usually normal residents who don’t engage in crime, but work to earn a stable living
Walter Sieruk says
On the topic of the real spirit of Islam toward Black people, two Christians who are also authors revealed in the book about the prophet and founder of Islam, Muhammad, the person who all Muslims greatly admire and view and a perfect example for them to emulate was man that “He personally owned two ‘black slave…he endorsed sex slavery as a gift from Allah.. In the every next page of that same book I also informs the reader that “Islam had enslaved more people than any other culture.” [1]
Likewise , a scholar on Islam who is an Arab woman and speakers and reads Arabic and uses to live in one the those countries on the Middle East had exposes in her book that the prophet of Islam ,Muhammad referred to Blacks as “ ‘raisin heads’ several time in the hadith [1:663:9:256]”Her book also reveals that “Throughout the hadith blacks are also referred to as abeds, which means ‘black in Arabic and is also synonymous with the word “slave’ and filth.” In fact ,Arab Muslims have enslaved blacks for 1,400 years and the Black slave trade is still thriving in Sudan and Mauritania.” Further in her same book the author reveals that “Most interesting, though, is the even though black slavery by Muslims began long ago , almost no descends of those slaves are alive today in the Muslim world. Why is there no black culture in the Middle East ? Most slaves were either killed or died from being worked to death.” [2]
