Dozens of refugees have protested in Tunisia complaining about their treatment and demanding to be evacuated.
The migrants mostly from Sudan and sub-Saharan countries held a sit-in in front of UN offices in the southern port of Zarzis.
Some held up banners reading “stop the violence against us.
”
The Tunisian coastguard ‘intercepted’ nearly 20,000 migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe during the first three-quarters of last year.
