Afrikaners Reject Trump's False White Genocide Claims 🇿🇦

More than 40 prominent white South Africans, including analysts, economists, lawyers, journalists, religious leaders, and historians, have pushed back against Donald Trump’s repeated claims that they are being “slaughtered,” insisting in an open letter that they refuse to be used as “pawns in America’s culture wars.” They rejected the idea that they are victims of racial persecution or genocide, calling such claims misleading and dangerous. Their response follows Trump’s disputed assertions that white South Africans are being killed and having their land seized, and his announcement that the US would boycott the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa. France24’s Jean-Emile Jammine welcomes France24 correspondent Eunice Masson, Piet Croucamp, one of the initiators of the open letter and Ernst Roets, who has been a vocal critic of the letter, to discuss further about the issue.
