President Cyril Ramaphosa has vowed to tackle the root causes of xenophobic attacks in South Africa, a move prompted by recent anti-immigrant demonstrations.

Citizens from Ghana, Nigeria, Malawi, and Mozambique are being repatriated after becoming embroiled in the unrest, with reports emerging that some incidents have escalated into violence. The death toll for Mozambican nationals stands at a sobering five individuals.

Ramaphosa vowed to tackle those manipulating public anxiety over undocumented immigration for self-serving purposes, his statement made during a live broadcast, though he didn't outline specific measures.

President Ramaphosa emphasized that no group should exploit genuine public anxieties to undermine national stability by fomenting chaos and brutality in South Africa.

Citizens are warned not to harass individuals on public streets by demanding their identification documents, as this is a matter for the authorities alone to manage.

Immigrant communities in South Africa frequently face blame for the country's economic struggles, including soaring unemployment rates and rising crime statistics. Populist leaders exploit these sentiments to further their own agendas, critics argue.

President Ramaphosa emphasized that migrant communities are unfairly shouldering the blame for socio-economic issues.

Measures are being implemented by the government to tackle migration issues, such as enforcing regulations more strictly, reviewing existing legislation, and collaborating internationally to combat the underlying drivers of unauthorized immigration.

Policies aimed at addressing xenophobic violence in South Africa include establishing specialized courts to expedite immigration proceedings. The government is also updating identification documents for citizens and legal residents, replacing traditional "green book" IDs with advanced digital ID cards featuring biometric data.

South African authorities are facing mounting pressure from Ghana's Foreign Minister Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa, who revealed that his country is documenting the losses suffered by its citizens as a result of xenophobic violence. This data will be crucial in potential legal proceedings against perpetrators.

In a solemn ceremony, French President Emmanuel Macron joined forces with Rwandan leader Paul Kagame to unveil a poignant tribute in Paris, dedicated to the memory of those who perished during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

Rwandan President Paul Kagame joined forces with French President Emmanuel Macron for the inauguration of a poignant monument in Paris, paying tribute to the victims of Rwanda's devastating 1994 genocide against the Tutsi population on Tuesday.

Inaugurating the Rwandan genocide monument, Macron emphasized its significance in placing the tragedy at the very core of Paris's collective memory. This poignant tribute marks the end of a diligent search for historical accuracy.

During his visit to Rwanda in May 2021, Macron acknowledged France's involvement in the Rwandan genocide and expressed hope for forgiveness from the Rwandan people, aiming to revitalize strained relations that had been marred by accusations of French complicity in the 1994 atrocity, which claimed an estimated 800,000 lives, predominantly ethnic Tutsis. Yet he declined to offer a formal apology.

A damning conclusion emerged from a commission set up by President Macron, which found in March 2021 that France's colonial mindset had clouded its judgment on the lead-up to the genocide, ultimately leaving it accountable for not anticipating the atrocities.

In the heart of Paris, a poignant monument stands along the Seine river, titled "L'Archive". Conceived by Portuguese artist Grada Kilomba, this somber tribute features two imposing black steles inscribed with a commemoration to the victims who perished between April and July 1994.
