Nigeria evacuates citizens from South Africa after xenophobic attacks



Nigeria is facilitating the repatriation of hundreds of its citizens from South Africa following a wave of xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals. More than a thousand Nigerians have registered to return home amid mounting fears for their safety. Returnees describe losing livelihoods, property and loved ones to violence. Abuja has issued stern warnings to Pretoria, though the Nigerian government says it remains committed to a diplomatic response for now.

Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Abuja, Nigeria.

  1. Africans are so familiar and accustomed to illegality that legality becomes a fever and a problem when one nation rise up to impose one…..then they try to label it and want to be seen as "victims"

  2. Trump is preparing to add more economic sanctions against South Africa. President Donald Trump has already taken concrete punitive and financial actions against South Africa. If you think the economy in South Africa is bad now, wait until the the U.S., the United Nations, and organizations like the European Union start imposing economic sanctions. When this happens the economy is about to get a whole lot worse in South Africa. Trump already falsely accused South Africa of genocide against white South Africans, but this afro-phobia and xenophobia violence against foreigners is giving Trump all of the excuses he needs to interfere, especially if anti-immigrant protesters start attacking white foreigners.

  3. It's sad how the media is reporting this issue and get Africans excited. The focus has been shifted from the ills of Nigeria and Nigerians are buying it. What a shame. South Africans are fighting for the future of thier children like our fathers before us.

  4. Who was it that was throwing stones and bottles at protestors yesterday if all the Nigerians got scared and fled? Are we going to have a report on that today

  5. Populism is cultist terrorism. Anti immigration propaganda and rhetoric is being used and experimented upon the poor migrants in South Africa now. Instead of disturbing the smallholder economies, govts should make an effort to legalize and document them so the human capital potential of the untaxed and undocumented can grow. Instead xenophobic populist militancy is being used as testing grounds for right wing terrorists from the White supremacist house to the nazis in the other side of the world to refine their weaponization of anti immigrant propaganda.

  6. Who are south Africans, blacks or whites, south African blacks who don't love and like their neighbors, and other black Africans, people who are not used to traveling because apartheid kept them in darkness for too long, whites developed and built every infrastructures and roads in South Africa, black South Africans survive on whites, can black South Africans developed and built south Africa the way whites have done, people with deep hatred and division can't accomplish anything, since apartheid ends in 1990, why are they not successful and prosper, whites smart brains fixed the country up and make it better, but they still complain, their problems are not related to blacks of other black Africans taking jobs, it's their own self failures, after all so called immigrants of same continent leave, nothing will change, crime drug killing prostitution and other things will still exist as karma for their evil minds and hearts, south Africa never was built for black South Africans, people want to go to south Africa for what whites developed and built, what can those blacks carrying sticks with xenophobic build or develope to attract people to south Africa

  7. Comparing what Nigeria did to Ghana have no parallel to what south Africa has done to other black Africans, Nigeria did not kill, attack, burn what belongs to Ghanaians, looted their shops, mistreating and humiliating them, so don't report what is biased,

  8. This video is created to turnish South Africa's reputation by people who are afraid who are cowards instead of fighting for a better Nigeria they flee to South Africa my forefathers struggled from apartheid oppression we as South Africans we have never enjoyed our country to who ever posted this video you are pushing propaganda you are a fool
