Mr Obasanjo urged countries whose citizens were affected in the xenophobic attacks in South Africa to seek redress at the African Union (AU).
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday urged countries whose citizens were affected in the xenophobic attacks in South Africa to take the matter to the African Union for redress.Mr Obasanjo stated this while reacting to the xenophobic crisis through a letter to the president of the Inkatha Freedom Party, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, who is a leader of the opposition in South Africa.
“For any African country to encourage or allow or not seriously sanction xenophobia against Africans in their country, it is a great disservice not only to the country where xenophobia takes place and the countries of the victims concerned, but also a great disservice to the whole of Africa and black race,” Mr Obasanjo wrote.
“As a suggestion, South Africa should send emissaries to the countries concerned to explain, apologise and agree on the way forward for mutual understanding, accommodation, reconciliation, and binding the wound to promote unity, concord, and brotherhood in Africa.”
