Nigeria boycotts South Africa

• Nigeria's parliament has suspended official visits to South Africa and ordered lawmakers to boycott South African-hosted legislative activities.
• Persistent anti-immigrant violence in South Africa has led to the deaths of 98 Nigerians in mob and hate-related incidents since 2022, with 1,695 more voluntarily evacuated this year.
• The decision reflects growing concern over the safety of Nigerians in South Africa and signals rising frustration over a problem that has periodically strained relations between the continent's two largest economies.
