xenophobia is very topical these days due to the unfortunate events in SA.

LOME, Togo, Feb. 1— Tens of thousands of hungry and impoverished people who have been expelled from Nigeria hurried today along the seaside road that leads to the frontier with ghana at the edge of this normally quiet West African capital. The refugees, expelled for economic and political reasons by Nigeria, passed through Lome in taxis, cattle trucks and on foot, most of them men in their 20's, many of them carrying a single suitcase as they walked along the Atlantic coastal road. Some two million unskilled foreign workers living illegally in Nigeria were ordered to start leaving by Monday. At least half of them were Ghanaians, and others were from Mali, Chad, Niger, Upper Volta, Benin and Togo. Under international and African pressure, President Shehu Shagari of Nigeria extended the expulsion deadline for skilled foreigners, mostly schoolteachers, until March 1. President Shagari announced the expulsions Jan. 17, saying the foreigners were the cause of economic problems and religious and racial unrest. 16 Reported to Have Died In Lagos, the Nigerian capital, at least 16 people were reported to have died as a result of the forced exit. Six people drowned in the Lagos harbor Monday night trying to climb aboard overcrowded ships leaving for Accra, ghana 's capital. Ten refugees were said to have starved to death. At the frontier, Togolese guards let the refugees pass by the thousands without a check. A hundred yards away, by a concrete arch with the words ''Welcome to ghana '' in large letters, Ghanaian border guards appeared to be making only cursory inspections of the refugees as they entered. As one truck carrying perhaps 50 refugees crossed the border, the Ghanaians cheered -but not loudly, more in relief than joy. A boy waved a small Ghanaian flag from the back of the truck. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/02/02/world/by-land-and-sea-they-stream-from-nigeria.htm

Both Nigeria and Ghana arent xenophobic though. Only the governments were, but I wonder what would have happened had the foreigners insisted in staying, maybe a genocide

We Africans are the problem of ourselves,so we can no more tolerate ourself
