Xenophobia Row: Nigeria Accelerates Evacuations From South Africa | Firstpost Africa | N18G

A severe diplomatic crisis is gripping Africa as mounting anti-migrant unrest and a massive domestic immigration crackdown in South Africa force multiple nations to pull their citizens out. Nigeria has extended its emergency evacuation mission, scheduling its final state-sponsored flight for July 10, while fiercely rejecting Pretoria’s explanation regarding the recent deaths of two Nigerian nationals. Simultaneously, Ghana is locked in a bitter dispute with South Africa over the killing of a Ghanaian citizen. On the ground, the situation is increasingly desperate. South African authorities have arrested over 6,800 undocumented migrants in a single week and deported 35,000 more, driving waves of terrified foreign workers to flee. In Malawi, an influx of over 28,000 returnees has overwhelmed the Joyce Chitsulo Stadium camp in Mwanza, triggering critical medical shortages and severe mental trauma as fractured families arrive with nothing but what they could carry.
