South Africa’s Consul General to Nigeria, Prof. Bobby Moroe, says South African authorities have arrested more than 80 people linked to recent Afrophobia attacks against African migrants in South Africa. The announcement is reported alongside information that the African Union (AU) Executive Council does not plan to take up Ghana’s request to place the issue of violence against African migrants in South Africa on the AU agenda. According to the reports, Moroe’s statement frames the arrests as part of ongoing investigations and enforcement actions following the attacks. The outlets also indicate that regional political discussions are continuing, but with the AU Executive Council declining to elevate Ghana’s proposal for discussion at the level requested. The two reports agree on the core figures and the AU response, presenting the arrests and the decision not to include the matter on the AU agenda as separate but linked developments in the regional response to the attacks.
