HUMILIATION AGAIN! AFRICAN PRESIDENTS DUMPED ON METAL CHAIRS IN THE USA!
Shock and outrage erupted across the continent after African leaders were parked on cheap metal chairs during their visit to the United States for the DRC-Rwanda peace deal. The so-called “high-level meeting” looked more like a school assembly in rural Nigeria or Zimbabwe than a global diplomatic event.
And guess what? It’s not the first time. The world still remembers the UK shuttling African presidents around on a bus during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral while US and European leaders rode in private cars like royalty.
Meanwhile, at the G20 Summit in South Africa, global leaders were treated like kings: red carpets, plush seating, VIP protocol the full presidential pampering!
Now Africans are asking the burning question: Why are our leaders given first-class respect at home but second-hand treatment abroad? The controversy is growing… and so is the embarrassment!
Serves them right. Why should it take Mr. Trump ( of all people) to broker a peace deal between DRC and Rwanda? Trump was simply expressing the contempt he has for Africa and its leaders. His perception of Africa is well known. He recently referred to Somali immigrants as trash and then you get surprised African leaders are treated like trash?
As long as our leaders display childish greed (looting millions of dollars from their impoverished nations and stashing it in offshore accounts), no one, not even the Chinese, will have any respect for us. The bible says “The borrower is slave to the lender” (proverb 22:7) and as long as we lack the discipline to take care of ourselves and depend on others, we will always be treated with contempt, as trash. That is the painful reality.
Respect is earned not handed on a silver platter.
