The Covid-19 pandemic has brought to light a number of weaknesses and vulnerabilities for the international community as a whole. It has become all the more observable that vulnerability is a condition shared by all humanity: almost no one is immune from the effects of Covid-19. My paper focuses on Sub-Saharan Africans in Tunisia and how the virus took a toll on them during the lockdown of March and April 2020. The pandemic has exacerbated their vulnerability and deepened the already existing inequalities. This paper seeks to examine how the concept of vulnerability has been used and incorporated in legal and policy instruments addressing migration in Tunisia. Building on existing literature on sub- Saharan migrants during the lockdown and on conducting qualitative interviews with sub- Saharan migrants.
