BARBARIC XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS

Little would one have thought that the recent human attacks on foreigners in south Africa would come to pass forgetting so soon how these other African countries supported them in one way or the other through their struggle in the days of apartheid. Today, they brothers and sisters in south Africa being nationals of other African countries are seen as a treat and there is that urgent need to get rid of them even to the point of executing them as part of the process.

The escalation of criminal activities and crime doesn’t mean that foreign nationals from other African countries are responsible.  Crime and assassinations have exited in that land for long before the black rule. Great leaders and fighters in the days of apartheid lost their lives in the struggle for black rule. Despite the fact the our skin colour is black doesn’t make us devils. They south Africans should remember the words of Lucky Dube “we are all made in the image of God regardless of our skin colours. We are different colours, one people. ”   

The level at which the attack has reached indicates that the people of the republic of south Africa really mean business and should be stopped by all means. Our leaders, worldwide have to interfere and take the necessary actions as soon as possible in order not to waste more precious lives in this barbaric xenophobic attacks of other African nationals residence there. The president of the republic of Ghana and the chairman of the African Union (A.U) has responded appropriately by condemning their actions. Our people over there need our prayers but whilst we remember them in our prayers, let us hope that our leaders will not only condemn the killings but find an amicable solution to this near to come genocide. We don’t need reports, all we need is results.
