Nigeria reschedules the planned evacuation of its citizens from South Africa following renewed xenophobic attacks. Multiple reports say the federal government adjusts the schedule for the first batch of Nigerians who want to leave, with the rescheduling linked to the safety situation for Black people in South Africa. The government says President Bola Tinubu has approved a set of evacuation flights, described in one account as five flights to be carried out by Nigeria’s private airline, Air Peace. The reports characterize the move as an orderly withdrawal for Nigerians who express willingness to return, rather than a mass forced evacuation. While details on the exact departure dates are not consistent across the brief excerpts provided, the common elements are that the government is coordinating airlifting/evacuation, that the initiative is specifically for citizens seeking to leave, and that the decision is tied to the recent xenophobic violence. Overall, the sources agree that Nigeria is taking steps to transport willing citizens from South Africa using government-approved flights.
