  1. Opinion: African borders and identity amid South African xenophobia

    An opinion piece argues that xenophobic attacks on fellow Africans in South Africa highlight a deeper problem: African nations invoking colonial-era borders to justify exclusion, fragmenting continental identity and undermining collective African potential. The author questions where Africans should "go" if expelled, pointing to pre-colonial African mobility and suggesting history demands a reckoning with imposed territorial divisions.
