South Africa's anti-migrant violence forces hundreds of foreigners to flee the country
For weeks, South African groups have organized anti-migrant protests and marches, ordering undocumented foreigners to leave the country by the end of June, prompting several nations to repatriate their citizens. Nigeria evacuated hundreds of its nationals on Wednesday, while at least two Mozambican citizens have been killed in the violence. The unrest is the latest in a recurring pattern of xenophobic episodes in South Africa that has affected foreigners even when they hold legal documents.
