[^0]:    2 For the first time in the history of the country since the first abolition of slavery in 1846, Tunisian authorities have only just officially recognized the extent of the racism that is eating away at society. After the bloody attack on three Congolese students in December 2016 in downtown Tunis, the Prime Minister Youssef Chahed pledged to launch a new debate on anti-racist laws: 'We need a national strategy to change attitudes, [and] a law that makes discrimination illegal', he said (cf. Libération dated 27 December 2016). Let us hope that these promises will be carried out in order to eradicate this scourge for good: http://www. liberation.fr/planete/2016/12/27/la-tunisie-se-decide-a-agir-contre-le-racisme-anti-noirs_1537749
