I wish folks understood that govt's incompetence isn't some clever Machiavellian scheme. Besides, the issue was already taken to court in 'Kopanang & Others v Operation Dudula & Others', where the court rejected the claims that SAPS and DHA failed to protect foreign nationals.
ALT Case: Kopanang Against Xenophobia & Others v Operation Dudula & Others (Case No. 44685/2023)
The South African authorities should be held accountable through litigation for its flagrant failure to protect the human rights of African migrants through enforcing the rule of law. There is compelling evidence that it condones vigilantes as it has allowed them to run amok!

This is only the latest in a series of revelations closely linking Israel to drug cartels, military juntas, and death squads throughout Latin America's history, as well as to the plundering of common resources and to systems of surveillance and repression.

This is the NUDT mosquito drone, a spy UAV built by China's National University of Defense Technology for covert surveillance you can't see coming.
Under 0.3 grams. Wings that flap 500 times a second.
Sensors built for covert surveillance, all packed into a body you'd swat without thinking.

In a historic first for regional justice, 12 Sudanese survivors have filed a landmark criminal complaint in Nairobi against 10 Rapid Support Forces (RSF) members for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Utilising the principle of universal jurisdiction, this case exposes harrowing testimonies of systemic torture, arbitrary detention, and weaponised sexual violence committed in Khartoum.
This unprecedented move places Kenya’s legal and political integrity squarely under the spotlight, giving the Director of Public Prosecutions 30 days to initiate a formal investigation. With international mechanisms like the ICC largely restricted to Darfur, this case represents one of the few remaining pathways to accountability for atrocities committed across Sudan.

It's the algorithm. It's designed to amplify divisiveness and polarisation, so it shows more of it on your timeline. You're right about the moral superiority aspect, though. You are all more invested in this than you are in ISSP jihadists waltzing into Nigeria for the first time.
i do not think nigerians are morally superior or anything but if nigerians were to ever act like this to foreigners today, there’d be a lot more nigerians decrying and rallying against it. but there’s a silence on this issue by south africans that implies tacit support.

No. And even if it did, it's fine. We would have been betraying ourselves as South Africa if we hadnt done something.

#SWJBookReview: “The Weaponisation of Everything: A Field Guide to the New Way of War,” by Mark Galeotti. Yale University Press (@yalepress).

“States are increasingly turning the instruments of civilian life into weapons: business and sanctions, criminal proxies, legal procedures, information ecosystems, and culture. While this shift is commonly treated as a revolutionary development driven by Russia’s hybrid adventurism, Galeotti’s central and most provocative claim is that it is nothing of the sort. The techniques may be more sophisticated and the environment more interconnected, but the underlying logic of subverting, demoralizing, and outmaneuvering an adversary without resorting to full-scale military force is as old as statecraft itself.”

Nah, man. West Africans are experts in expulsions. From the 1950s to the 1980s, they were kicking each other out like it was a sport. Expulsion, retaliatory expulsion, expulsion again.

They can keep their humanitarian aid, just keep your hands off Sudan too, stop funding the RSF and exploiting Sudanese resources.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has reportedly withdrawn its commitment to provide humanitarian aid to Sudan, marking the latest chapter in a long-standing strategy of performative philanthropy.
According to media reports described by the UN as credible, the UAE backs the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia which is accused of g*nocide in Sudan.
But despite being accused of fuelling Sudan's humanitarian crisis, the UAE simultaneously positions itself as a major donor by pledging hundreds of millions at international summits.
However, this recent pullback - reported by Africa Inteligence - confirms what critics have long argued: these pledges are often PR maneuvers that rarely translate into tangible support.
Indeed, UAE’s humanitarian rhetoric stands in stark contrast to its actions. Despite lofty promises, including a $200 million pledge in February 2025 and a further $500 million in 2026, the actual capital flowing to UN-coordinated relief efforts has been a mere fraction of these totals.
The UAE contributed only about $33 million to the UN’s 2025 humanitarian response plan, leaving millions of displaced and starving Sudanese in a state of manufactured neglect.
For years, the UAE has used these pledges to maintain an image of international neutrality, even as its involvement in African conflicts - from Libya to Sudan - has exacerbated humanitarian catastrophes
By positioning itself as a "stabiliser" through humanitarian conferences, the UAE secures diplomatic cover for the destruction of other states.
Nonetheless, the latest withdrawal of support is a stark reminder that for sub-imperial proxies such as the UAE, humanitarian aid is a calculated investment in regional hegemony that is discarded the moment it no longer serves the interests of power.
