Refugee boat headed for Italy capsizes off Tunisia, leaving five people dead and 28 missing, says a rights group, marking another tragedy on the world's deadliest migration route
Five refugees and migrants from sub-Saharan Africa have drowned and another 28 were missing after their boat capsized off Tunisia, a rights group said.
The sinking is the latest tragedy on the central Mediterranean, known as the world's deadliest migration route. It comes a month after President Kais Saied made an incendiary speech accusing refugees and migrants from sub-Saharan Africa of representing a "plot" against Tunisia and causing a wave of crime.
Refugees, many of whom fear they will face violence if they go home, have called on the United Nations' refugee agency UNHCR to evacuate them.
