Edward Dafeamekpor, the Member of Parliament for South Dayi, says the African Union needs to deal with the attacks on foreign nationals in South Africa. He stated this based on reports of the incidents.
He believes the situation is serious enough to require international attention from the continent's leaders. Mr. Dafeamekpor feels inaction could worsen the problem.
The MP has urged the African Union to act quickly. He specifically asked for a fact-finding mission to be sent to South Africa without delay.
This mission, according to Mr. Dafeamekpor, will help understand the full extent of the attacks and the reasons behind them.
His call highlights concerns over the safety of Africans in different countries on the continent. He believes such incidents damage the reputation of Africa.
