In recent times, disturbing images and reports have continued to surface, showing the harsh
realities faced by African immigrants in different parts of the world.
These incidents are not just isolated acts of hostility, they reflect a growing pattern of xenophobia that threatens the unity, dignity, and shared identity of the African people.
The Neo Black Movement of Africa (NBM) Worldwide unequivocally condemns all forms of xenophobia, discrimination, and violence directed at African immigrants. No African should be
treated as a stranger on African soil or dehumanized in foreign lands simply for seeking better
opportunities, safety, or livelihood.
Migration is a fundamental human reality. Across history, Africans have moved across borders in
search of survival and progress. This movement must never be met with hatred, unlawful
detention, violence, or systemic injustice. Afro immigrants, regardless of their location, deserve
fairness, respect, and most importantly, due process under the law.
We call on the government of South Africa, Nigeria and9 you* indeed the African Union to as a matter of urgency put up a strong diplomatic instruments aimed to address and forestall the recurring
scourge of Xenophobia, we equally call on all relevant institutions across Africa and the globe
whose primary objectives is directed at upholding the dignity of man to rise up to the challenge
to ensure that the rights of all immigrants are protected. Where there are legal issues, they
must be addressed through lawful and humane procedures—not mob action, profiling, or abuse
of power.
NBM of Africa Worldwide stands firmly for African unity, justice, and human dignity. We reject
narratives that divide us and promote hostility among our people. An attack on one African, anywhere in the world, is an attack on all Africans.
This is a call to conscience. A call to leadership. A call to all Africans at home and in the diaspora to rise above division and stand for justic Say No to Xenophobia.
Justice for Afro Immigrants.
Due Process for All.
Barr. Hope Aliu, LL.M, FCIMC, FIMC, ACIS
President, NBM of Africa Worldwide.
