Xenophobic Violence Hits South Africans in Congo and Mozambique

South Africans have launched violent attacks against African migrants in Congo. Stores were looted, and owners were beaten or even killed. This may be only the beginning. In Mozambique, South African tourists were jeered and humiliated on the streets. Crowds shouted insults and chased visitors away from hotels. How can a nation mistreat African residents at home and then expect a warm welcome abroad? Six-year-olds have been expelled from schools, and patients dragged from hospital beds. Is this the start of a worse xenophobic wave? We must stay vigilant and demand answers.
