Police: People and Anti-Immigrant Riots

police: Resentment against foreigners has sometimes turned deadly in South Africa amid accusations that they take jobs from locals in a country where unemployment is above 25 per cent . Others are blamed for drug-dealing and other crimes, according to Metro News. In 2015, anti-immigrant riots in and around the city of Durban killed at least six people. They are arrogant and they don't know how to talk to people especially Nigerians, it said. In 2008, similar violence killed about 60 people. Police Commissioner Khomotso Phalane said 136 people had been arrested in the past 24 hours. Police on Friday tried to keep protesters apart from foreigners who gathered to express alarm about recent attacks. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
