Former Ghanaian President John Mahama has urged the African Union (AU) to intervene more decisively regarding ongoing xenophobic attacks in South Africa. He expressed concern that the repeated violence undermines the goals of African unity, integration, and solidarity. Mahama believes a proactive approach from the AU is crucial to resolving the issue and preventing further incidents. He warned that the attacks create a climate of fear and instability for African citizens living in South Africa. The former president’s statement highlights growing concerns about the safety and well-being of foreign nationals within South Africa’s borders. This call for action comes amidst renewed calls for stronger regional responses to address the root causes of xenophobia.
