Namibia has observed its first genocide remembrance day, honouring the estimated 75,000 victims who were massacred by soldiers or forced into concentration camps during German colonial rule. Between 1904 and 1908, an estimated 65,000 Herero people and 10,000 Nama people were killed when the groups rejected colonial rule. It amounted to 80% and 50% of their respective populations at the time.

Many South Africans praised their president Cyril Ramaphosa for staying calm when Donald Trump ambushed him in the Oval Office with a video purporting to back up his false claims of a “genocide” against white Afrikaner farmers. Others asked why Ramaphosa, who brought ministers, golfers and a billionaire with him, chose to walk into what he knew was likely to be a trap. Before the televised encounter, US-South Africa relations were at a nadir.

Fue una emboscada digna de un programa de telerrealidad. Tras un breve intercambio de cortesías para recibir en el Despacho Oval al presidente sudafricano Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump ordenó “apagar las luces” y comenzó la proyección de un vídeo que repetía las mentiras del presidente de EEUU sobre granjeros blancos sudafricanos supuestamente asesinados por su raza. Ramaphosa venía preparado.
