Sowore Condemns Cyber Attack on South African Infrastructure
Omoyele Sowore, a prominent Nigerian political activist, has strongly criticized the ongoing cyber attacks on South African internet infrastructure by a group of Nigerian netizens.
In a recent statement, Sowore expressed his disapproval of the actions, which have disrupted online transportation services for many Africans.
He described the attacks as “unacceptable” and urged for an immediate halt to the activity.
Sowore further emphasized the dangers of “Cyber Xenophobia,” equating it to mental and physical xenophobia, both of which he considers dangerously reprehensible.
He highlighted that such conduct could adversely impact millions of South Africans and Nigerians in the diaspora, stressing that the actions of a few should not lead to harm for many.
The cyber attacks appear to have been sparked by the misconduct of some South Africans, but Sowore maintained that this was not a justification for retaliatory cyber warfare.
