Nigeria repatriates 1,926 citizens from South Africa amid xenophobic attacks

Nigeria has repatriated 1,926 citizens from South Africa since June following xenophobic attacks, with the latest flight bringing 105 more to Lagos. The ongoing repatriation reflects sustained anti-immigrant violence in South Africa, though the scale and frequency of attacks remain unclear. This development underscores regional migration pressures and bilateral tensions between Africa's two largest economies.
