Why ACAXAA

The African Council Center for Anti‑Xenophobia Action in Africa (ACAXAA) was created in direct response to two converging continental crises that exposed deep structural weaknesses in Africa’s governance architecture:

Escalating Xenophobia in South Africa — recurring waves of violence targeting African immigrants, undermining continental solidarity and human security.

Institutional Paralysis of the African Union — chronic inability to take decisive, coordinated, and enforceable action to protect African nationals or address the systemic drivers of xenophobic violence.

These two failures — one societal, one institutional — created a vacuum of leadership that threatened Africa’s cohesion, mobility, and stability.
