A CONDEMNATION IN THE STRONGEST TERMS OF THE RENEWED XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS AGAINST AFRICAN FOREIGN NATIONALS IN SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa must never forget that when apartheid brutalized Black South Africans, Africa stood with South Africa. Nigeria stood with South Africa. Nigerians contributed politically, diplomatically, financially, morally, and personally to the liberation struggle. Nigeria was at the forefront of anti-apartheid sanctions, boycotts, diplomatic pressure, and liberation solidarity. Historical accounts record Nigeria’s central role in the decolonization and anti-apartheid struggle, including its persistent support for oppressed Black South Africans and pressure for embargoes, boycotts, and sanctions against apartheid South Africa.
