SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
South Africa (Country threat level - 3): Police reinforcements were deployed throughout Johannesburg on 20 May 2008 as thousands of immigrants sought protection from a wave of xenophobic attacks. Angry mobs have specifically targeted foreign immigrants, mostly refugees from neighboring Zimbabwe and Mozambique, for the past several days, and at least 22 people have been killed. Police officials stated that the violence has been fueled by strong anti-immigrant sentiment that is pervasive in Johannesburg slums like Ramaphosa and in other impoverished areas. Government officials stated that they may deploy military troops to back up police officers if the violence does not subside. Many human rights groups have called on the government to use the armed forces to prevent unrest from spreading beyond Johannesburg. Please consider tourguides and warn people not to travel without someone who know the surroundings |
