African gang crime wave spirals out of control in Melbourne, but Sudanese community leader claims it’s all just political ‘scaremongering’

A South Sudanese lawyer has publicly criticised politicians for fuelling hatred and 'scaremongering' in the issue of African gang crime in Victoria. Police are scrambling to hunt down the offenders of repetitive violent crime across the state - but African community leader Kot Monoah (pictured top right) said more needs to be done by federal politicians to find peaceful solutions. Appearing on Sky News, Mr Monoah slammed Immigration Minister Peter Dutton for 'scaremongering' after he warned Melbourne people were afraid of even going out to dinner in fear of being targeted by gangs. '[He is] scaremongering the wider Australian public,' the African community spokesman said.
