Foreign Affairs minister samuel okudzeto ablakwa has called on the african union to take a stronger position on the recent xenophobic attacks in south africa.

Ablakwa urged african leaders to go beyond condemnation and address the economic and developmental challenges driving migration.

He stressed that africa must work together to create opportunities at home so no african feels forced to leave.
