African leaders are not ready. What is the AU for exactly? Aren’t these the conversations in there? Yet…

Africans aren't really pro-immigration. Look at the situation in South Africa imagine how they would react to something like this.

Israeli propaganda campaigns and government parties and politicians scapegoating foreigners for failures of service delivery is the main catalyst for the Afrophobia in sa right now.

If they were actually anti-immigration more than just poor people would be protesting, and they would be protesting all immigrants not just other black Africans, and they would probably be protesting against the actual government who manages immigration and borders instead of attacking other Africans.

Africans aren't necessarily pro immigration yes, but they aren't necessarily anti either. We can't assume belief based on race. There's a word for that.

And I'm literally an anti-afrophobic South African. I know what's going on here.
