Migrants Face Rising Threats in South Africa as Protest Deadline Nears Violence and fear in Durban settlement A Malawian woman, Esnat Joseph, says armed men came to her home in Durban and ordered her family to leave South Africa. She says the attackers carried machetes and whips and injured her husband during the assault. He was taken to hospital with head and neck wounds. Joseph, who is 36, fled with her one year old triplets and now lives with thousands of other migrants in an open field in KwaZulu Natal. Around 7,000 foreign nationals, mostly from Malawi, have gathered there after leaving nearby informal settlements due to fear and intimidation. Growing pressure on undocumented migrants Tension has increased in parts of South Africa as groups linked to anti migrant demonstrations demand that undocumented foreigners leave the country by 30 June. Protesters, including members of March and March and ActionSA supporters, have staged marches and street gatherings in several areas. Chants of “Mabahambe,” meaning “they must go,” have become common during these demonstrations. While many of the protests have remained peaceful, migrants report threats and door to door intimidation in some communities. Government response and warnings President Cyril Ramaphosa has warned against targeting vulnerable people. He said blaming migrants is not a solution to deeper economic challenges facing the country. Authorities say some undocumented migrants are voluntarily leaving with support from their home countries. Malawi, Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zimbabwe have arranged transport for citizens who want to return home. Return and uncertainty Thousands have already returned through repatriation programs supported by consulates and donations. However, accounts from returnees suggest fear and rising hostility toward foreigners in some areas. Some migrants, like Benjamin, who recently returned to Nigeria after years in South Africa, say they no longer feel safe living there.

Telegram Challenges India’s Temporary Ban Over Exam Leak Concerns Government blocks app after alleged NEET paper leak India has temporarily blocked access to Telegram after concerns that leaked exam papers were being shared on the platform. The action came just days before a major medical entrance retest involving millions of students. Officials say the step is meant to protect the fairness of the exam system. The issue is linked to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), which was earlier cancelled following allegations of a paper leak. Legal challenge reaches Delhi High Court Telegram has taken the matter to the Delhi High Court. The case is scheduled to continue hearing on Thursday. The government argues that cheating networks used Telegram to circulate leaked content. The National Testing Agency supports the move, saying the platform was used in organised fraud linked to the exam. At the same time, officials also acknowledged that the restriction may cause problems for users who depend on the app for normal communication, study, and work. Telegram rejects ban, calls it ineffective Telegram CEO Pavel Durov criticized the decision. He said the ban would not stop the leak networks because those involved often shift to other platforms quickly. He described Telegram as a useful platform and said it had already removed hundreds of channels in India that were sharing leaked exam material or scams. He also said the company was improving its systems, including making the “edited” label more visible to reduce misuse. Wider backlash over exam system The NEET cancellation triggered protests across India. Students and activists raised concerns about repeated issues in the exam process and system level weaknesses. Authorities have arrested more than a dozen people as part of an ongoing investigation led by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Security measures for upcoming retest A retest is planned for Sunday. Local reports suggest security will be tightened, including the use of Indian Air Force aircraft and helicopters to transport question papers securely.

Israel Intensifies Strikes in Southern Lebanon Amid US Criticism Ongoing Cross Border Violence Escalates Israeli forces carried out new air and drone strikes in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese state media. The attacks hit several areas, including Mansouri, Aaziyyeh, Nabatieh al Fawqa, and Kfar Tebnit. Several people were injured. Israel has not issued a direct comment on these latest strikes. However, its military confirmed that five of its soldiers were injured in a drone attack carried out by Hezbollah, the Iran backed armed group operating from Lebanon. Political Pressure From United States US President Donald Trump publicly criticized Israel’s actions in Lebanon. Speaking at an international summit in France, he said Israel needed to act more responsibly in the region. He also said the conflict with Hezbollah has continued for too long and warned that civilian suffering is increasing. Trump stated he maintains a strong relationship with Israel’s leadership but disagreed with recent military decisions. Regional Tensions Around US Iran Agreement The strikes come after a reported US Iran understanding aimed at reducing wider regional conflict. Pakistan has said the agreement also includes steps related to Lebanon. Despite this, violence between Israel and Hezbollah has continued since the announcement. Both sides have exchanged attacks, including rockets and air strikes. Earlier strikes on Beirut added further pressure on diplomatic efforts to stabilize the situation. Leadership Statements and Escalation Risks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces would remain in Lebanon as long as necessary. Iran’s military leadership warned Israel of a strong response if attacks in southern Lebanon continue. Lebanon’s health ministry reports that more than 3,800 people have died since the conflict escalated. The figures include both fighters and civilians. Israeli officials report casualties on both sides of the border, including soldiers and civilians. Background of the Conflict The conflict intensified after Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel following earlier regional tensions involving Iran. Israel responded with widespread air strikes and ground operations in southern Lebanon. Since then, cross border fighting has continued, drawing in regional and international attention.
