South Africa Seeks Broad African Union Discussion on Migration Amid Protests
South Africa is advocating for a continent-wide discussion on migration through the African Union (AU) amid recent anti-migrant protests and violence. The AU plans to address migration broadly, considering factors that push people to leave their countries and pull them to others. Ghana repatriated hundreds of its citizens ahead of a deadline set by South African anti-migrant groups. South Africa opposed efforts to isolate it by focusing solely on xenophobic violence at an upcoming AU meeting.
