Ghanaian Member of Parliament Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor is advocating for a comprehensive, continent-wide early warning system to address rising xenophobic violence across Africa. Dafeamekpor, the Majority Chief Whip, stressed the need for proactive intervention by African leaders and institutions to counter increasing hostility directed towards migrants. He believes a preventative approach is crucial, rather than reactive responses to outbreaks of violence. The call comes amid ongoing concerns about the safety and treatment of African migrants in various countries. Dafeamekpor’s proposal aims to foster a more secure environment for migrants and promote greater regional stability. He emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts to tackle the root causes of xenophobia and protect vulnerable populations.
