He cannot quite keep all those African countries straight….representing dead from Congo as those of South Africans to the President of SA—but surely someone in the White House is intelligent enough and has enough integrity to help him out. No?
US President Donald Trump showed a screenshot of Reuters video taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of what he falsely presented on Wednesday as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans.
Trump’s image of dead ‘white farmers’ came from Congo, not South Africa | CNN
The footage shows a mass burial in Goma, Congo, and was filmed by Reuters video journalist Djaffar Al Katanty, who said seeing Trump holding the article with the screengrab of his video was a shock.

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.
Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.
What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.
