Xenophobic Violence in South Africa: AU Commission Calls for Crisis Declaration

South Africa has been urged to declare xenophobic attacks a crisis by the African Union Commission. The call comes after a foreign national was killed in Durban last week. The victim was beaten to death by around 50 protesters. The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights made the appeal following the incident.

This is not an isolated incident. Xenophobic violence has been ongoing in South Africa for months, driving tens of thousands of people to flee the country. The African Union Commission has been vocal about the need for South Africa to address this issue. The Commission has previously called for stronger measures to protect foreign nationals living in South Africa.

The latest incident in Durban has sparked renewed calls for action. The African Union Commission has urged South Africa to take immediate steps to address the crisis. The Commission has also called for a thorough investigation into the killing and for those responsible to be brought to justice. The Commission has also called for the South African government to take steps to prevent further attacks.
