South Africa arrests 100 migrants at UN building
South African police have arrested around 100 foreigners during an operation to evict refugees and asylum seekers from a UN building in Cape Town.
The police, who used water canon, were carrying out a court order to remove about 300 people who had occupied the building for the past three weeks in a grievance over a wave of deadly xenophobic attacks.
The group, mostly from other African countries, demanded that the UN repatriate them or send them to a third country.
South Africa, as the continent’s most developed economy, is a magnet to migrants.
