Violence against migrants in South Africa worsens
Violence against migrants in South Africa has intensified, with Mozambique reporting five citizens killed in anti-migrant attacks. Ghana repatriated hundreds of nationals following similar actions by Nigeria, while Kenya, Malawi, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe warned citizens to avoid outdoor activities due to the violence. Al Jazeera attributes the surge to inequality, unemployment, and political narratives blaming foreigners for resource competition.
