Salima (AFP) – Ahamadi Assani is one of nearly 15,000 Malawians who have returned home from South Africa, after fleeing xenophobic violence and anti-immigrant hostility. “Even if the situation normalises, there is no way I can go back there, because we used to run away from the police, and some migrants ended up being hit by cars. I would rather die here in poverty than going back to South Africa,” he says.
