Nigeria, Ghana To Partner On Afrophobic Protests In Africa
The ministers said they will push preventive diplomacy and stronger monitoring systems, as 123 countries backed Ghana’s UN resolution on reparative justice.
- On Friday, Nigerian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye met Ghanaian Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in Freetown, Sierra Leone, to coordinate responses to rising Afrophobic violence in South Africa.
- Tensions escalated after June 30 protests in Durban and Johannesburg, where groups including "March and March" and Operation Dudula issued ultimatums for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa.
- Condemning Afrophobia, the ministers emphasized that criminals among migrants must face the rule of law rather than mob violence, stressing such attacks undermine African Union unity and the African Continental Free Trade Area.
- Enikanolaiye and Ablakwa agreed to advocate for Afrophobia to be placed on the next African Union Summit agenda, pushing for enhanced monitoring, early warning systems, and stronger preventive diplomacy mechanisms.
- Reaffirming Pan-Africanist values, Enikanolaiye commended Ghana for championing the landmark UN resolution on the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which recognizes slavery as a grave crime against humanity.
