South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has criticised the US for failing to discuss a terror alert issued by the American Embassy with local authorities. The embassy warned on Wednesday that one of South Africa’s wealthiest suburbs may be the target of an attack this weekend, and advised its staff members to avoid crowds of people and other large public gatherings. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office issued a travel warning echoing the US statement.
South African President, Ramaphosa Criticises US For Announcing Terror Alert Without Discussing With Local AuthoritiesThe authorities are working to verify the threat, and the government will issue an alert if need be, he said.
“It is unfortunate that another government should issue such a threat as to send panic among our people.” South Africa has hosted Pride marches for more than three decades. The nation’s post-apartheid constitution was the first in the world to prohibit unfair discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and it was the fifth country to legalise same-sex marriages.
The United Kingdom government also warned its citizens in Nigeria to stay alert due to an"increased threat of terrorist attack in Abuja."
