This is the kind of African unity conversation that stops being a fine-sounding slogan when people are being targeted. President Bola Tinubu has called on the African Union to act over recurring xenophobic and Afrophobic attacks in South Africa, warning that they put continental solidarity under serious pressure.
Tinubu’s point is blunt: Africans cannot be talking integration and brotherhood while fellow Africans are facing hostility across borders. The call puts the spotlight on what the AU can practically do when these attacks keep returning like a problem nobody wants to properly uninstall.
What’s your reaction to the AU being urged to step in?
