Episode Details

Nigeria’s foreign minister warns that conditions for foreigners in South Africa are spiraling out of control, as violent xenophobic mobs target immigrants — even those with legal papers — blaming them for job theft and resource strain. Tens of thousands are fleeing, with more evacuation flights planned as no signs of improvement emerge. Nigeria demands an investigation into the June 28 deaths of two Nigerians, which authorities believe occurred during the unrest — though South Africa insists the deaths were unrelated to protests, citing drug possession and an isolated shooting. Tensions mount as shops owned by immigrants are torched, police arrest over 6,800 undocumented migrants in a single week, and more than 35,000 have been deported or returned since early June.
