Violence in South Africa: Abidjan reassures about the fate of Ivorians

The Ivorian government assured that no Ivorian nationals have been victims of xenophobic violence in South Africa. Spokesperson Amadou Coulibaly called for distinguishing social tensions from state responsibility, recalling a past incident in Ivory Coast where Ivorians attacked Nigeriens due to fake news. South African President Ramaphosa reaffirmed a zero-tolerance policy against xenophobia.
