Tunisia expels around 400 sub-Saharan African migrants

President Kais Saied told a meeting of the National Security Council that Tunisia planned to expel around 400 sub-Saharan African migrants from its eastern border. Tunisia, along with its eastern neighbor Libya, is a major transit point for migrants seeking to cross the Mediterranean to Europe.
