DRC repatriates citizens from South Africa
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of the Congo announced the repatriation of a group of 121 Congolese citizens from South Africa, following escalating violence and anti-foreigner acts that led to the escape of tens of thousands of African migrants, especially from Ghana, Nigeria, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. This step is part of the government's efforts to confront the wave of violence that began in early May and resulted in the deaths and looting of thousands of foreigners. International condemnations continue, with Nigeria and Ghana calling for a discussion on the issue of “anti-African sentiment” at the upcoming African Union summit. South Africa, which is considered Africa’s largest economy, has experienced recurrent waves of violence against migrants since 2008. Currently, foreigners make up approximately 5.1% of the population, about three million people, amid ongoing protests and acts of violence against foreigners.
