Nigeria Repatriates Nearly 2,000 Citizens From South Africa
Original: xenophobia
Nigeria has brought home close to 2,000 of its citizens from South Africa following the latest evacuation flight, according to WKZO. The repatriations come amid renewed concern about xenophobic violence and hostility toward African migrants in South Africa, which have repeatedly prompted other countries to evacuate their nationals in recent years.
Why now: Xenophobic attacks on African migrants in South Africa keep drawing regional attention and pushing governments to bring citizens home.
