Hundreds of people armed with stones and bottles have taken to the streets of South Africa to attack Nigerians.

Violence against the immigrants has shifted from Johannesburg to the port city of Durban where many of the targeted people have started to shelter in churches and government buildings.

Twent four people have died in the past few days in Johannesburg where peace has generally been restored.

However, the United Nations is reporting that the violence in Johannesburg has left approximately 13,000 people homeless, a large proportion of them Zimbabweans who had fled the poverty in their homeland.

Immigrants attacked in South African port city

The UN and the world can accept responsibility for the deterioration
of life in Southern Africa. Another reason to recognize that we live in a leaderless world and there are forces
beyond the obvious incompetence and lethargy of people. Sadness will soon end with dawm

The UN do not have a standing army nor they can not say any thing what is going in every country in the world. They stay lame duck. It will continue on until they destroy thier country. They need a strong leader to control the country decipline,A weak and coruppt government will not be able to control a mob like demonstrations except by force or curfew.Let the army and police force take control of the situations.

United Nations prefers to deal with nonsense!

They are a complete failure when it comes time to do something meaningful. With murder and rape and slavery running rampant - they have their human rights commission investigating racism in the United States. This article doesn’t even give a reason for the violence against the immigrants, though I presume it’s because they are taking work away from the South Africans.
