Welcome to Issue 118 of The Continent.
It is a very dangerous time to be a black person in Tunisia.

The country’s president, Kais Saied, has put authoritarian learning to devastating use, blaming “sub-Saharan Africans” for all the country’s problems, while he attacks the judiciary, media and the opposition.

But the delineation between North Africa and the rest of the continent is not as strict as Saied would have us believe.

Also in this week’s issue: In Nigeria, it’s the same old, same old as as the establishment prevails. From cricketing to conservation, if you want the job done right, send in the women. Plus, we’re on the trail of M23.
