The ongoing xenophobic attacks against foreigners in South Africa could turn into a war following the threats by the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram who has given Pretoria 24 hours to halt the pogroms or be ready to engage in a bloody battle with them.
The deadly terrorist through a short YouTube video threatened to export its terror to South Africa. Boko Haram warned that if the South African government does not contain the situation, it will execute all South Africans living in Nigeria, Chad, Niger and other surrounding countries.
The Boko Haram sect has also threatened to attack all the South African embassies in Nigeria if the Zulu boys do not stop the killings.
With South Africa's economy in a downward spiral, local people in major cities like Durban and Johannesburg have taken their frustration out on fellow Africans. Dozens of migrants have been murdered on the streets in cold blood but according to Nigeria's minister of state for foreign affairs Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, the country is yet to suffer any casualty yet.
