No to killing fellow Africans – whoever the perpetrators

It has been reported that militant organisations Boko Haram and Al Shabaab have threatened to attack South Africans in other African countries in retaliation for the xenophobic violence meted out to foreign nationals on our soil but these reports have not been verified.

We have to point out though that this is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black. After all, killing fellow Africans is a trademark of these very same groups.
