The African Union canceled a conference scheduled for later this month in Tunisia after criticising the government for attacks on migrants in the country.
The conference on combating illicit financial flows in Africa, scheduled for mid-March, has been rescheduled for March 2, according to an African Union spokeswoman via text message on Monday. There is no new host country for the meeting.
Hundreds of Sub-Saharan African citizens have fled Tunisia after President Kais Saied blamed migrants for an increase in violent crime. He directed security forces to halt all illegal migration and deport all undocumented migrants, prompting a wave of arrests. Last week, the Ivory Coast, Mali, and Guinea began evacuating their citizens from Tunisia.
