Tunisian mobs target African Migrants in Sfax to 'avenge' Deadly Stabbing

Racial tensions in the Tunisian coastal city of Sfax flared into violence targeting migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, dozens of whom were forcibly evicted from the city, witnesses said Wednesday.

Amid the disturbances late Tuesday, police detained some and deported them as far away as the Libyan border more than 300 kilometres (over 200 miles), according to a local rights group.

The latest unrest started after the funeral of a 41-year-old Tunisian man who was stabbed to death Monday in an altercation with migrants, which led to the arrests of three suspects from Cameroon.

"We are going to avenge his death!" young people chanted at the victim's funeral, according to video footage published online.

Sfax, the North African country's second-largest city, is a departure point for many migrants hoping to reach EU member Italy by sea, usually the island of Lampedusa about 130 kilometres (80 miles) away.

Do you not see parallels with forcing people business to do things they don't want to do? Do you think the government should limit what someone says based on what it thinks is proper?

It's a stretch to tie discrimination to the first amendment, unless it's for a valid religious reason. The government makes us do a lot of things we don't want to do.

Not really. You either believe in freedom or you believe the government has the right to dictate morality. Let's hope for your sake the government's and your morality aligns I guess.

The problem we are seeing in France is a result of allowing to many foreigners into their country. It's a problem a lot of European countries have and we'll likely see the same thing in England down the road and I'm afraid here as well eventually thanks to leftist ideology.

Easy way for a country to internally combust is to over saturate it with unnatural immigration within a very short amount of time.

Most of these "immigrants" are Algerians that cited with France in Algerian Colonial War. Where should they have gone?

Real issue is police/military not breaking up protests and media defending that behavior. France had similar issues in late 18th Century without immigration and it was only stopped by Napoleon and his whip of grape shot.

That's a good point in your first paragraph but I don't know that it's 'most'. France has had a lot of immigration from Algeria and other colonies since right after WWI, as well as from Europe after WWII. There are many of Moroccan and Tunisian, and other African, Asian and Caribbean descent too.
A lot of immigrants and their descendants won't completely assimilate and give up cultural and religious markers that set them apart, and there's been discrimination and segregation because of that for generations. So there's an underclass without ready access to the fruits of French prosperity which makes them surly and from time to time things explode. Oppression as cited in your second paragraph will only make things worse.
