A cross section ofNigerians and Ghanians in Europe on Wednesday urged the African Union  to intervene in the escalating xenophobicattacks in South Africa.
In an interview inEurope they condemned the attacks and described it as misplaced anger.
A political analyst inGeneva Lawrence Ekpo, said that AU had failed millions of Africans by notadequately reacting to the attacks.
Also speaking, Afe Adelaja, a member of the Nigerians in Diaspora Europe, who is based in Germany, said there was no justification for South Africans to attack foreigners living in their country.
Adelaja also said itwas disturbing that AU was yet to take a decisive action on xenophobia in spiteof the rate of violence and murders committed by South African protesters.
Others, who spoke fromSpain, Italy, France, and the UK unanimously urged the AU to suspend SouthAfrica from its fold until Xenophobia is stopped.
They also urged foreigninvestors to divert their investments to other countries in the continentsaying that South Africa was no longer safe for doing business.
They also urged theUnited Nations to  intervene in thematter as it was capable of causing reprisal attacks which could lead to crisisin Southern Africa.
