"Our compatriots in Tunisia, we found that some of them had lost hope," Kouyate said. "And it was with a heavy heart that I was able to meet with them because the conditions were difficult."

Mamaaissata Sacko, a mother of three children, said her family had been attacked and lived in fear in the North African nation.

Tunisia has long been a destination for economic migrants from West Africa because of the French language many share and North Africa's proximity to Europe. An estimated 21,000 migrants from sub-Saharan Africs were living in Tunisia in 2021, most of whom entered from Algeria and Libya.

Last month Tunisian President Kais Saied said that "urgent measures" were needed to address the entry of irregular immigrants from sub-Saharan countries, "with their lot of violence, crimes and unacceptable practices."

He ordered a rapid response via "diplomatic, security, military fronts" and strict application of the law on foreigners.
