54 African countries at the United Nations have condemned United States President Donald Trump over his “shithole” slur and now want him to publicly withdraw the words and apologize.
In a joint statement, African ambassadors at the UN said they are “extremely appalled at, and strongly condemns the outrageous, racist and xenophobic remarks by the president of the United States of America as widely reported by the media,” a statement said.
Issuing the statement after an emergency session to discuss Trump’s sentiments, the group further said it was “concerned at the continuing and growing trend from the US administration toward Africa and people of African descent to denigrate the continent and people of colour.”
The diplomats also commended those US citizens “from all walks of life who have condemned the remarks.”
“For once, we are all on the same page,” an ambassador said following the resolution was unanimously passed after four hours of discussions.
During a meeting at White House with lawmakers on Thursday, the US head of state reportedly demanded to know why America would take immigrants from “shithole” countries, in reference to African nations and Haiti.
Thank you very much African…
Thank you very much African ambassadors at the UN for standing up for all Africa and her children States outside Africa. Our image is turnished and badly defamed by this bully- US President Trump. But you must do more. Africa Union, along with you should organize protests outside every American embassy in every African country until Trump withdraws such derogatory remarks he made against the good people of Africa and her descent.
What Trump said is the truth…
What Trump said is the truth but directed to the wrong target. Africa and her people are good. It is the african leaders making Africa a shithole continent.
Moses Kuria do not be that…
Moses Kuria do not be that naive. He meant black people. Some African countries are better than Slovenia where his wife comes from but he cannot call them shithole because they are not black
That’s what I meant by…
That’s what I meant by saying “the wrong target”. Silly read and comprehend before you crap through your shithole
I can not have phrased it…
I can not have phrased it better. Our leaders are shitholes period.
So you are the sithole.
So you are the sithole.
Huyu Ndugu yetu Donald…
Huyu Ndugu yetu Donald amezoea kuwatukana watu bila kufikiria madhara ambayo matusi yake huumiza fikira za waliotukanwa. Mwaka uliopita, aliwatukana wazazi wa wacheza mpira wa Kimarekani matusi ambayo siwezi kuyarudia au kuyaandika hapa.
Kama ana matatizo na rangi za watu, yafaa ahamie Urussi ambako wazaliwa wa huko wanafanana na sura yake. Sijui kwa nini huyu ndugu yetu hamheshimu MWUMBAJi na pia kumtambua kama aliyeumba ulimwengu na viumbe vyote vilivyomo!
Ni lazima Kaka Donald awaombe msamaha wananchi wote wa nchi ya Haiti na pia wazaliwa wote wa bara la Afrika. Wamarekani nao pia wana jukumu la kumkosoa huyu Ndugu yetu ambaye ana matatizo makubwa na rangi za binadamu hasa rangi za Waafrika.
Nawaomba viongozi wote waliochaguliwa na watu wasizoee kutumia lugha chafu juu ya watu wengine hadharani. Sijui kama Kaka Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta naye ameshawaomba msamaha wahudumu wa Mahakma Kuu ya Kenya alipowaita “Wakora” mwaka uliopita. Kama hajafanya hivyo, ni lazima tumwombe naye afanye kama tunavyomtaka Kaka Donald afanye
Nimeandika mara nyingi hapa maneno yaliyosemwa na Ndugu Tutu wa Afrika ya Kusini ya kwamba, ” Kama ukinyamaza wakati watu wanaponyanyaswa, wewe uliyenyamaza uko upande mmoja na yule anayewanyanyasa watu.”
Thank you African…
Thank you African Ambassadors at the UN, but it’s time for you to bring the Black Man of the world together. Seize the moment, declare Martin Luther King’s day a holiday for all African countries in Africa and around the world. Start teaching what that day means to the Black Man in America and in the whole world. That should be a start. All Black Men have a mark from the creator that cannot be mistaken. The black skin. Let’s start by taking pride in that. Let us start by taking inventory of our human resources in the world and using that to find our position in the world. When one Black Man is attacked in the world, all Black Men are attacked. Let us teach what unites us, our history. What do we really learn from someone who sees us as shitholes. Just a thought!
DT is a shithole president!!…
DT is a shithole president!!!!
If a child washed his hands,…
If a child washed his hands, he could eat with the kings. Africa’s in too much shit and must wash itself out. Giving historical injustice excuses is no longer tenable
if truly our leaders stand…
if truly our leaders stand with us let them shut all the american embassy’s in Africa all at once recalling the ambassadors ans staff to their usa sodom n gormolla so we can see they r not truly shitholes countries.I said during icc uhuruto cases they tried to bring african union together so we can all withdraw fron icc together but we didn’t agree coz some countries were threatened by the west not to withdraw or else aid will be stopped// so we remain black shitholes countries unless we stand up and fight for ourselves the way Gaddaffi advocated for.One united state of Africa agenda.If not we remain shithole countries where our leaders dont visit our local hospitals when they get sick,they fly in uk,us,canada.They send their kids to western university coz they dont believe in their education systems which they are to fix. Thats why we as blacks are shitholes countries..Many of us who have escaped form home to the west talk shit about where we grew up of where 99% of our family leaves insted of empowering our pple and going back to offer change we continue talking shit about our countries instead of informing our pple what can work.U saw jaluozz uprooting water which serves them because raila is not the president?U saw during demos pple raping women stoning the police uprooting bizness stoning the cars yet we feel offended when trump tells us the truth.Truly as i always say blacks wr idiots shitholes cursed race unless we change.
You bring a good point esp…
You bring a good point esp regarding our leaders habits of seeking health care in the West and taking their kids to the western countries for education, something which has become a trend in Kenya. Lets also not forget idiot Raila seeking Western help to destabilize his country. By the way people in the shit hole countries also talk shit about their respective countries NOT because they hate their country of origin but because they believe those countries can do better. They are crying for change. Same goes to diasporians too. Regarding Kenya diasporians coming back, what the government can do is to offer incentives,team up with corporations like banks to encourage investment from this group of people. Make land buying easy to buy and sell. Give titles and prosecute those who fleece others.TRUST is a big issue here in Kenya and it feels like everyone is out to fleece you in anyway they can. Tallying to see what diaspora remitted every month is very short sighted,lacks a clear agenda in the long run.
You keep saying diasporians should come back home. Are they going to eat stones and take their kids to public schools. Coming back is hard and you can’t keep barking at people to come back if you are not offering real solutions. If its building someone has to be trusted to buy the plot, buy cement etc you get the gist?
Your comments are so very…
Your comments are so very well thought and it would make a lot of difference if our so called leaders would have half the ideas most of us have.

I am not embraced by Donalts statement.A few days ago, I read an article about him. He was expected to go for medical check up. I hope that will help him. Black people are more special than he thinks.Who doesn’t know that African morals are being errode by people of his caliber.
