By receiving, Wednesday at the Oval Office, his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, American president, Donald Trump on Wednesday accused South Africa of South Africa of “genocide” against the white minority.
To support these accusations, Trump released a video illustrating the calls for racial discrimination against this minority, known as Afrikaners.
The images, disseminated in the presence of members of the South African government and the American administration, as well as many journalists, show large rallies where speakers call to “confiscate” the land of Afrikaners, white farmers, and “kill” them.
Part of the broadcast images also shows a long line of white cross planted on both sides of a road, as well as dozens of cars stored on the aisle.
“These are burial places (…) more than a thousand burials of white farmers,” said President Trump, adding cars aligned on the aisle “belong to people who came to meditate on their loved ones who have been killed”.
In early February, President Trump signed a decree suspending all American aid to South Africa, which he accused of “racial discrimination led by the government”, following the adoption of a controversial law on land expropriation.
The South African government has confiscated “the agricultural land of Afrikaners’ ethnic minorities without compensation”, and implemented “countless policies intended to repeal equal opportunities” in employment, education and business, affirms the decree.
The text also planned to grant Afrikaners the status of refugee, with a fast way to citizenship.
The first group of South African refugees, made up of around fifty farmers, actually arrived in the capital Washington last week.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said that it is only a first group and that “much more will arrive” later.
