Immigration has become a more sensitive issue as was slavery and racism, though the world is not currently frowning at verbal attacks on immigrants in the Western Countries, or even considering it a felony by politicians who are using the subject to gain political powers, it may be worth every effort to give this new form of vice a serious attention to nip it in the bud before it will become a while fire that may likely burn out nations and economic ties between nations. A typical example of this menace is growing stronger by the day in South Africans, where recent reports of ongoing massive xenophobic attack on nationals of none-South Africa origin, a lot of black people killed by black South Africans. Black South-Africans are claiming that the black migrants from other African countries are taking over their jobs, that is why they are burning and killing them. Already a group of South African students killed 5 Congolese students, 10 Nigerians, 5 Gabonese and 10 Somalis yesterday around 10:00 am in Johannesburg. The police is advising foreigners to avoid using public transport specially train, taxi etc. Unfortunately, the local media in South African is not reporting anything related to these attacks and the South African government seems not to be on its toes to curb the emerging disaster. Yesterday attack on an area called POINT Johannesburg where people have been displaced from their flat is even yet to be heard on the news. Therefore, foreign nationals living in South Africa should be self aware and do your best to protect yourselves. And the government should please up its game.
