See my thread about the other misleading images about the xenophobic violence

luvmijeje:
You really mean that beautiful baby is not a victim of xenophobic attack.....Ahhhhh Nigerians should fear God with all this embellishment.

Yep, nothing to do with xenophobia, like most of the gruesome images people have seen about the xenophobia, just random pics from the net (alot happened in Nigeria).

There's also this very unfortunate video of a mob setting youths who confessed to murder ablaze. The video went viral when someone misleadingly posted it as showing foreign youths set on fire by a xenophobic mob.

here's my thread About the so called xenophobic video.

luvmijeje:
I believe you...... Nigerians know how to take issues to the extreme.

see my thread about the fake news and images about the xenophobic attacks, they're from Nigerian sources.

People talking about ongoing attacks, what ongoing attacks?

The last reported attack was the Mozambican (all perpetrators arrested), happened last week Friday. Over 300 arrested.

Some people have long returned to their communities.

Only Nigerians are still talking about xenophobia, though none have been killed.

WHY?

luvmijeje:
That's better........ So why all the brouhaha.

I don't know, the last reported attack was last week (the Mozambican ), no Nigerian was killed, though property was damaged. Some have even returned to their communities.

its just politics now

From the news feeds about the xenophobia, other than SA ofcos, I only see Nigerian sources still reporting about xenophobia, everyone has left the story behind.

Bujumbura - Witnesses say two protestors have been shot dead during clashes with police in the capital of Burundi.

Clashes were taking place in several parts of Bujumbura the day after the president launched a controversial bid to stay in power for a third term and despite a government ban on protests.

Independent eyewitnesses said on Sunday one person was shot dead in the city's Ngagara district and another in Musaga after police used live ammunition to disperse crowds.

One body was left in the streets while another was taken away by Red Cross workers, several eyewitnesses said.

Civil society

A Burundian opposition leader, Frodebu Leonce Ngendakumana, said: "We had called for peaceful protests and that is what happened, but the police and ruling party militia fired real bullets at the protestors."

Local media reports added that several more people have been wounded in the city, while several police have also been hurt in stone throwing.

Burundi's Interior Minister Edouard Nduwimana condemned what he said were "uprisings called for by certain politicians and civil society".

Opposition figures and rights groups say the president's effort to cling to power is unconstitutional and could push Burundi - which emerged from civil war in 2006 - back into violence.

SA government has done nothing serious .All what they are doing is stylishly deportation(evacuation) foreigners and take over their properties .70percent foreigners have their permit application pending over 2years and once they go out they won't be able to re enter again and some have houses and investment here .Bros stop saying what you don't know ""thousands have returned to their communities "This is big lie .Malawi and Mozambique government repatriate citizens and some are now in refuge camps in Chatsworth Durban. 3key questions Nigerian high commissioner demanding from SA and they are not ready to give answers .1.Pay victims of Xenophobia 2.No need to evacuate since there is calmness and if we evacuate what happen to those with pending permit application and how will they re enter ?3and what happens to their investment and properties?Evacuation is out of the way now ..some Nigerians are legally married to SA and stay up to 20years .what happens to their houses?Do you have plan for them if evacuated?Get it right Xenophobia attack happened in townships(semi town) not main town(CBD).Nigerians don't stay in such places .

I get you, but from what I've been reading the government doesn't want to repatriate any body, many people have returned to their communities and the Nigerians who lost some property were going to be compensated according to Obanikoro. Seems you know more than what's been reported on the news, so I won't argue with you. Thanku.

luvmijeje:
What happened in SA is unfortunate....... A serious government should have nipped this issue by making examples through arresting those that committed the crime and taking them to Court immediately.

I'd have love to be patriotic like you guys if we have a better and working system. A building collapse and tens of Nigerians and foreigners died....... nobody has been held responsible....... No investigation...... Nothing..... and you think they have no point.

over 300 have been arrested, the 4 who killed the Mozambican appeared in court.

[quote author=samtol4 post=33135946][/quote]?? You disagree?

iterator24:
yes the crime rate is high but don't rule out the fact that the country has a number of xenophobic elements.. my friend was stabbed in PE 2 months ago for crying out loud.. why? He's Nigerian, they thought he sells drugs

Visit their forums and see how they speak ill of foreigners even learned individuals, guy na God dey help foreigners for SA, especially Nigerians

So what more can the SA government do, there're all these anti-xenophobia campaigns and matches attended by thousands, people have returned to their communities, there're special courts setup to deal with xenophobic crimes even the foreign organizations are happy with the government's response so far.

why recall the ambassador now?

This morning.

SA is concerned about her image thats why they're not doing much

and that wasn't directed at foreigners, just people angry that the HRCSA is investigating their king.

the problem is that each time a foreigner gets attacked for whatever reason, its automatically attributed to xenophobia. There was a zim women found dead recently, it was attributed to xenophobia, untill it came out that her zim boyfriend was behind the killing.

what about the SA women who was recently killed by her Malawian boyfriend,and cut to pieces, is that xenophobia? The killer might even be a fellow Zim.

SA has a high murder rate, foreigners will also be victims and perpetrator.

is this xenophobic?

nduchucks:
Its the application of the law that is questionable. Go and research how many Westerners have been executed for violating the same law.

FYI: Not a single American who violated the same law has ever been executed.

Australians will also be executed,

Australians get 72-hour notice of execution in Indonesia:

Hmmmm,

the last attack was the Mozambican man a week ago, what attacks are still ongoing that everyone is talking about?
some foreigners have even retuned to their communities.

over blowing the situation are we..

and the top trending story the past week on the xenophobia.

The gruesome and graphic images/videos shown about xenophobia aren't related to events taking place or south Africa, don't believe everything you see.

Don't project your inferiority complex unto the country. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy. That alone makes it a major player on the continent.

lool, why would anyone think otherwise, Nigeria is THE major player on the continent.

Very sad, I wish them strength to pull through this.

Daily mail only now reporting on the event.

Very interesting article by the war nerd about recent xenophobic violence in south africa

The War Nerd: The Art of Turf War



http://pando.com/2015/04/19/the-war-nerd-the-art-of-turf-war/

the thing I've been pondering is who's behind all the fake stories, images and videos about xenophobic attacks in south Africa all over social media.

I previously thought they were people wanting to darken south africas image. now its clear that xenophobic elements in south Africa were spreading the false info to scare foreigners so they'd leave or those planning to go there, will no longer want to.
