South Africa deployed police nationwide as xenophobic protests against illegal immigration escalated ahead of a June 30 deadline. Thousands of migrants fled the country amid violence fears. The government framed the deployment as response to the protests, not suppression of them.
Xenophobic violence in South Africa has a long history, and these deployments suggest authorities expect significant unrest around the deadline. The fact that thousands of migrants are fleeing preemptively indicates real fear of violence rather than theoretical concern.
