While the reactions are multiplying around the world to condemn the xenophobic attacks recorded in South Africa in recent days, the release of the Cameroonian authorities, it is not long.
The Cameroonian government remains unmoved by targeted attacks against foreigners in South Africa. Nearly 4000 of its nationals are yet established in this country, according to statistics obtained Wednesday from the Ministry of Foreign Relations.
A resurgence of xenophobic attacks has occurred in South Africa since Sunday. It began with a truckers’ strike protesting against the employment of foreign drivers in the area. The speech was echoed by the population who responded by attacking businesses owned by foreigners.
Three Cameroonians have lost shops in this wave of violence, according to internal sources at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Unofficial reports also mention two Cameroonians killed. The government is still silent. No official statement is made on the subject and no envoy has yet been dispatched to meet with South African officials. In the world, however, reactions fuse to denounce these attacks. There are those of Muhammadu Buhari (Nigeria), Mussa Faki Mahamat (UA), Bobi Wine (Ugandan MP) …
The situation was similar in 2015 during the first xenophobic attacks. Yaoundé had kept silence. Even after the broadcast of a video showing a Cameroonian assaulted with daggers in this country.
All this comes as Pretoria and Yaoundé have strengthened their relations, especially around the management of the Anglophone crisis. After having ensured, during 2017, its Cameroonian government support in its fight against the secessionists, South Africa has opposed with verve the opening of a session on the Anglophone crisis in the UN Security Council.
