Nigerian migrants are leaving South Africa following increased xenophobic protests and direct threats demanding their departure. A group issued an ultimatum for those living in the country illegally to leave, creating a climate of fear among the migrant community. Reports indicate a spike in anti-immigrant sentiment fueling the unrest. The situation has prompted many Nigerians to seek repatriation, fearing for their safety and well-being. Authorities have yet to comment extensively on the specific threats or measures taken to protect migrants. This exodus mirrors previous instances of xenophobic violence targeting foreign nationals in South Africa. The development raises concerns about regional stability and the protection of migrant rights.
