最近对外国国民的野蛮攻击以及随后数以千计的其他人流离失所，使人怀疑南非在多大程度上真正理解和保护人权。这些攻击在媒体和全国各地的各种讨论中被称为“仇外”。仇外心理在南非并不是一个新现象，多年来对外国人的攻击已有大量记录。然而，袭击的激烈和残酷性质以及暴力蔓延到其他社区的倾向使局势变得危急，接近人道主义危机。
The recent brutal attacks against foreign nationals and the subsequent displacement of thousands of others have questioned the extent to which human rights are truly understood and protected in South Africa. These attacks have been labelled “xenophobic” in the media as well as in various circles of discussions around the country. Xenophobia is not a new phenomenon is South Africa and attacks against foreigners have been well documented over the years. However, the intense and brutal nature of the attacks as well as the propensity for the violence to spread to other communities renders the situation critical and bordering on a humanitarian crisis.
