Day 26
Tunisia
Human Rights Watch has warned that it is treated as a dangerous shift in policy by Tunisia as it expelled about one hundred African migrants to its border from Algeria. The exiled children and asylum-seekers complained that they were mistreated and beaten by the National Guard agents who took away their belongings. It was termed an inhumane action by the Tunisian security forces, who exposed people to danger by abandoning them in remote border areas without food or water. Pray for the people who are constantly going through abuse and are living in uncertain conditions. Pray that the leaders will repent and seek God and learn to lead the country with good democratic rule (The Bible, Psalm 105:9).
