Africans express broad social tolerance but restrictive attitudes toward immigration, the latest Afrobarometer Pan-Africa Profile reports. The new analysis, based on 50,961 interviews across 38 African countries in 2024/2025, shows that while large majorities accept neighbours of different ethnicities, religions, political affiliations, and nationalities, immigration marks a boundary of inclusion.
