## Resource

Egypt’s sudden pivot to delay a major African Union summit over an Ebola outbreak could derail a critical diplomatic showdown on xenophobia in South Africa. Originally set for June in Alamein, the summit is now tentatively pushed to early October—unless AU members object. The delay comes as Ghana seeks to spotlight rising anti-African immigrant violence in South Africa, while Pretoria pushes back, proposing instead a debate on migration’s deeper roots: governance and democracy. Meanwhile, South African businesses feel the ripple effects, as government consular teams scramble to mitigate fallout from the simmering tensions.
