        African Union has no moral justification to demand apologies for the comments made by President Donald J. Trump. Truth, they say is bitter. African leaders have failed woefully in every aspect of development. Their quest for power and material wealth has destroyed Africa

        African Union MUST stop being hypocritical and partisan. We have seen them endorse dictators and support electrol rigging. Abuse by Trump is nothing compared to the deaths of innocent Africans the A.U has witnessed and supported.

        .... African leaders must apologize to us for leading us for decades in a way that creates shitholes. The best defence is for us to lead Africa well. Let's turn this shitholes into greatholes. We wouldn't be disrespected if we respect ourselves.

        Apologize for what??Donald Trump just called a spade a spade!! Africa has been turned into a sh!thole by its leaders who steal from their own people, oppress and kill their own people. Hence thousands of Africans are leaving the continent daily heading to Europe,America & Asia.

        If Trump called an African black they would call him a racist. These African leaders should first apologize to us Africans for failing us in many ways by causing the continents current state of under development by their greed and corruption,stop wasting time on what Trump said

        Nonsense. What is the African Union doing about the greed of African leaders that put their citizens in poverty causing them to flee to America and European countries?

        The African union leaders makes Africa look more like a 'shithole' more than @realDonaldTrump mere 'shithole' utterances. I live in a 'shithole' country where USAID money is continuously mishandled to through corruption.
