The Pan-African Peace Consortium is asking South African authorities to immediately protect African migrants who are victims of xenophobic violence.

The Pan-African Peace Consortium (CPP) is demanding that South African authorities take immediate measures to protect African migrants and is threatening to support a symbolic and economic boycott if their safety is not guaranteed. The organisation set out this position in a manifesto published on 15 October 2026, according to Corbeaunews Centrafrique.

Signed by the CPP’s general coordinator, Dr Nounga Djomo Ernest, the manifesto condemns xenophobic violence targeting African nationals in South Africa. The consortium accuses the authorities in Pretoria of failing in their duty to protect and betraying the principles of Pan-African solidarity. The statement follows South Africa’s withdrawal of its directive on asylum applications.
