Ghana asks African Union to address xenophobic attacks on migrants in South Africa

Ghana has petitioned the African Union (AU) to address escalating xenophobic attacks against African migrants in South Africa. The Ghanaian government formally requested the AU to include the issue on the agenda for its upcoming mid-year coordination meeting, citing loss of lives and property. The AU is urged to monitor member states' adherence to human rights, facilitate fact-finding missions, and promote dialogue to foster tolerance and unity among African peoples.
