Caption: Anti-Immigrant Unrest in South Africa Prompts New Repatriations Across the Continent. Malawi has announced plans to repatriate citizens who want to leave South Africa following a rise in anti-immigrant violence and tensions. The move follows similar efforts by Mozambique and other southern countries, which have also helped citizens return home in recent weeks. Reports of attacks on African migrants have increased amid protests against undocumented immigration in parts of South Africa. Anti-immigrant groups have blamed foreign nationals for problems such as unemployment, crime and pressure on public services. Governments across the region have warned their citizens to remain vigilant as fears of further violence grow. Mozambique said five of its nationals were killed in recent xenophobic attacks, highlighting the seriousness of the situation. South African authorities have condemned the violence and pledged to act against those responsible, while also stressing the need to address illegal immigration.
