Abstract
Higher Education, in Africa, has in the last few decades provided forum for partnership, networking, and collaboration through inter-regional and trans-border studies, research, and teaching. This development provides growing hope for solving the numerous challenges confronting higher education development on one hand, and overall sustainable development of Africa on the other hand. In recent years, the growing wave of xenophobia and terrorism has posed threats to such partnership, networking and collaboration. This chapter, employing both primary and secondary data, interrogated this trend and analysed its implications for the development of Higher Education in Africa.
