Ghana evacuates nationals from South Africa as anti-immigration violence spreads

Ghana has begun repatriating its nationals from South Africa following widespread anti-immigration protests in multiple South African cities that have left foreign residents under threat. Immigrants report being chased from homes, harassed, and assaulted despite holding valid documentation, according to Al Jazeera's reporting. The South African government has issued statements condemning violence against foreigners and foreign-owned businesses. The escalation reflects deepening tensions over immigration in a country with high unemployment and resource scarcity.
