Africa is indeed a shithole because while the people suffer, their leaders loot their public purses to splurge on themselves and their children.
You see how the statement has hurt African leaders, the AU. Let’s ask them, what Trump said, what exactly can you do about it for us to come out of the shit hole that he is talking about? They go abroad and buy big houses, their children are attending big schools yet in my home town, you go there and see that the rooms in a house are in the state of a dug out mess which people use as toilets, not only in Europe and the USA… but also Somalia.
