    Botswana's government has termed the foul-mouthed comments made by US President Donald Trump against African countries as "irresponsible, reprehensible and racist". http://bbc.in/2EAdriL pic.twitter.com/3dOHagE4ER

        Botswana, the only African country who has the right and integrity to say this, the rest are as Trump says, created by corrupt African leaders.

        Can't speak for the rest, but in Ethiopia's case it's all facts.

        A response from a well-run country like Botswana is fine. But for many others, most African countries are shithole countries. They deserve to be recolonized. The political economy they run only benefits politicians and the cronies. Poor schools, hospitals,infrastructure 😎😎😎

        Ian Khama should just be the president of Africa. He's the only one that doesn't kowtow to the buffoon in the White House and was the only African president that didn't pussyfoot around Uncle Bob.

        Kenya, the leader in mobile money transfer in the world; a country with inarguably the best long distance runners and the home to Barack Obama' father is in a #Shithole Africa according to Donald Trump. Trump has no facts.

        Trump has never been to Africa. So he is speaking from an ignorant and uninformed point of view.
