Nigeria’s Federal Government says it is considering raising the issue of recurring xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa at the African Union (AU) in search of a lasting solution. The government’s position is presented as a response to continued attacks against Nigerians, which it frames as an ongoing problem rather than isolated incidents. Vanguard reports that the Federal Government, during the day, disclosed it was weighing AU action and seeks a permanent resolution to the attacks. The Punch similarly reports that Nigeria’s government is considering AU intervention, describing the situation as a matter of growing continental concern. Across both accounts, the key common element is Nigeria’s plan to engage the AU rather than addressing the matter solely through bilateral channels. The sources do not provide additional details on timing, specific AU mechanisms Nigeria would request, or any formal steps taken or pledges made. The reporting focuses on the government’s consideration of AU involvement to help contain or prevent further xenophobic violence.
