Migrants thrown from balconies and attacked with swords after Tunisian man attacked

In an unprecedented outbreak of violence in Sfax, Tunisia, some 40 African migrants have been subjected to barbaric acts of violence, including falling from balconies and assaults with swords. All of this occurred in the wake of an unfortunate day of funerals: a 41-year-old Tunisian man had been fatally stabbed, three Cameroonian migrants suspected. Following this incident, an enraged horde of locals took to the streets, burning tires and clamoring for the expulsion of illegal migrants. Apparently, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" still has a long way to go.
