Xenophobia: ActionAid makes demands from African govts, AU
The organisation made the call in a statement by its communications coordinator, Nihinlola Ayanda, in Abuja on Saturday.
She blamed the menace on unemployment, poverty, widening gap of inequality, little investment in human capital development and lack of investment in the youths across the continent. “For instance, the Africa Free Trade Agreement that envisages an African market without borders, provides for exchange of technology, sustainable development models among others, may not yield the desired result.
Obi added that the fight against poverty in Africa required a united policy front between African governments and a strong relationship between and within the people on the continent.
