38,000 Malawians leave S.Africa after anti-migrant protests

Over a month, Malawi successfully repatriated 38,000 citizens from South Africa amid escalating anti-migrant protests and violence that led to six deaths. This mass exodus underscores the dire conditions faced by migrants in the region, highlighting the urgent need for both immediate humanitarian responses and long-term policy changes to protect vulnerable populations. The event raises significant questions about xenophobia and the responsibility of host nations to ensure the safety of all residents.
