## Resource

A wave of deadly xenophobia in South Africa has forced thousands of undocumented migrants—many from Malawi, Ghana, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe—to flee for their lives. Vigilante attacks, looting, and even police involvement have created a climate of terror, leaving people like Ahamadi Assani and Twaibu Hussein with nothing but their clothes. As an unofficial deadline loomed, governments stepped in to repatriate citizens, but the real tragedy is that these individuals had built lives and careers in South Africa. Now, amid looming local elections, critics say migrants are being scapegoated for the nation’s economic woes, turning a humanitarian crisis into a political flashpoint.
