Demonstrators gathered, chanting "South Africa must go," and stormed the head offices and facilities of prominent South African companies, including MTN Ghana and other operations.
The Catalyst: These events are in direct retaliation for a recent surge of anti-immigrant protests, looting, and xenophobic violence in South Africa, which specifically targeted foreign nationals, including Ghanaians.

Diplomatic Fallout: The protests in Accra and the broader diplomatic crisis have prompted the Ghanaian government to lodge formal protests and compile data on the properties and assets their citizens were forced to leave behind in South Africa.

What makes a city a great pick for your first time in Europe? Famous wonders of the world, great art museums and impeccable food are all table stakes. But there are a few other things worth considering before you decide on a spot.
Traveling to Europe for the first time is a big experience, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It will always be simpler to navigate a city that speaks the language you know, and many major European cities double as tourist hubs where English is common (though learning a handful of key phrases is always a good idea).
