The African Union is expected to discuss the recent xenophobic attacks against African migrants in South Africa at its next summit after Ghana formally requested the matter be placed on the agenda.
Ghanaian President John Mahama says the issue cannot be ignored, stressing that lasting solutions require honest dialogue rather than silence. The summit is expected to give South Africa an opportunity to present its perspective while African leaders work together to address the root causes.
Xenophobia is not just a national issue—it is an African challenge. If the continent is to strengthen unity, integration, and the free movement of its people, protecting the dignity and safety of every African must remain a shared responsibility.
What do you think should be done to end xenophobic violence across Africa?
