Tunisian authorities arrested Cameroonian influencer Clara Foy while she was in a tent with African migrants on olive farms in the Amra region of the south-Saharan province of Sfax.

The online newspaper “Al-Shorouk Online” quoted an unnamed official source as saying that a suspected woman with the nationality of an African country had been arrested.

The source explained that the investigation work carried out by the security services resulted in the identification and arrest of the aforementioned woman, and the Public Prosecution in Sfax authorized the detention of the migrant from sub-Saharan Africa, for 48 hours, to investigate the reasons that brought her to Tunisia.

Hossam Eddine Jebali, spokesman for the General Directorate of the National Guard, pointed out that the so-called Clara Foy was living in one of the Arab countries in complete comfort before rumors spread about her presence in Tunisia, stressing that in coordination with the competent authorities, it was proven that she did not enter Tunisia officially, whether by land or air.

The case began with videos posted on social media showing Clara Foy living in a migrant camp in sub-Saharan Africa.

She is a Cameroonian influencer, followed by tens of thousands on social media platforms, often sharing photos of herself in countries as diverse as Dubai, Canada and Italy living a wealthy life, sometimes appearing as a nurse, sometimes as a model and sometimes as a singer.

The migrant boat had set off from Zawiya in northwestern Libya before being intercepted by the Life Support Emergency Rescue Ship on Friday night, the organization said.

The organization reported that the boat was overcrowded, and water and food had run out, with 8 women among the migrants, including a pregnant woman, 3 children and 14 minors.

The rescued migrants were from Sudan, Nigeria, Niger, South Sudan, Eritrea, Bangladesh, Mali, Togo, Chad, Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, Senegal, and Ivory Coast.

“Médecins Sans Frontières” (MSF) noted that the lack of safe and legal options, as well as the violence against migrants in Libya, forces them to cross by sea and increases the number of victims.
