January 16, 2018
English

African Civil society under the auspices of the Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) of the African Union received with utter shock the news of the uncouth words used by the President of the United States in reference to African people and people of African descent. We condemn in the strongest terms the racist undertones of this language and the clear expression of naivety about the place, role and value of African people by the President of the United States.

ECOSOCC Response to President Trump’s ‘Shithole Remarks’

January 16, 2018
English

The Economic, Social and Cultural Council of the African Union received with utter shock the news of the uncouth words used by the President of the United States in reference to African people and people of African descent. We note that this language is wrong and does not reflect the stature of the President of the United States.
In Africa we do deeply respect elders and the language that elders use should be respectful and one that befits the position that they hold. The President of the United States is an elder and should always remember and act as one.
