Africa stood behind South Africa during apartheid. Countries sacrificed, protested, and pushed globally for their freedom. So why does xenophobia still exist today within the same continent? If unity was possible when it mattered most, what changed?
Are we forgetting history, or are economic realities stronger than shared identity? Because it’s hard to reconcile past solidarity with present division. Where did the disconnect begin?

South Africans forgetting Nigeria funded parts of their liberation struggle is wild.
It’s not forgetting, it’s generational disconnect. Younger people don’t feel that history.
Then that’s a failure of education, not justification for xenophobia. At the end of the day, unity is easy in theory, harder in reality.
