Concerns are growing after viral videos showed what appear to be xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals from different African countries in South Africa.

Ghana’s foreign minister has also raised alarm, saying the videos seem to show Ghanaian citizens among those being attacked.

The footage has spread widely online and shows victims being assaulted, creating fear and anger across the continent. Officials described the scenes as “extremely disturbing” and called for quick action to stop the violence.

Authorities in South Africa have expressed sympathy for the victims and promised full investigations. They say anyone responsible will be held accountable.

Diplomats from affected countries are now working to identify victims seen in the videos and are offering support to those affected. There are also plans for meetings between government officials and African diplomats to discuss the situation and prevent future attacks.

The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of foreign Africans living and working in other countries, especially as tensions around jobs and migration continue to increase.
