Nigeria's National Assembly suspended official visits to South Africa over anti-migrant violence targeting Nigerians. [1] AP filed the freeze as indefinite for lawmakers and legislative engagements. [1] Al Jazeera filed the same boycott. [2] A parliamentary suspension is not a closed embassy. Print visits suspended. Do not print a severed state.

The assembly cited killings, injuries, and destroyed businesses in Friday copy. [1] Those are the stated reasons. They are not a new casualty table this desk will invent. Print the freeze. Leave a named death count to the edition that owns a named count.

Friday recap that treats a boycott as a broken mission is a feed, not AP. Print the National Assembly's word. Print not an embassy close.
