Africans in Guangzou spend second night on the streets

Scores of African students and businessmen remain on the streets of China's southern city of Guangzhou for a second night following the mass eviction of African nationals from hotels and apartment blocks.

Online rumours that the coronavirus was spreading among the thousands of Africans in the city led to door-to-door testing, evictions and accusations of forced quarantine.

"We have no house, no food, no hotel," one student from Nigeria told the BBC.

"There are up to 100 people still on the streets. People want to go back to our countries. I don’t know what the problem is with China. Everywhere that Africans live they are pushing us away.”

In an open letter penned by the All African Association of Guangzhou, community leaders called on the authorities to end the "the inhuman treatment, hatred, and outright discrimination of Africans that is currently going on in Guangzhou".

“About 10 African community leaders in Guangzhou are technically under house arrest using the term quarantine. These actions are difficult to comprehend when you consider the fact that these are people whose official test results came back negative just one or two days ago.”

In a written statement, the Nigerian embassy in Beijing said the federal government was now prepared to evacuate its citizens from China.

Thousands of Africans have been stranded in Wuhan and nearby cities close to the original Covid-19 outbreak since late January. Wednesday saw the official lifting of the lockdown in Wuhan. But this does not apply to many international students who still remain confined to their apartments.

Guangzhou is home to one of China’s largest African communities and has become a hub for African traders buying and selling goods to the continent.

Maybe the virus started in Africa. You can never bee too careful.

Or maybe it started in Italy or the US. Preferably anywhere else but China.

Stop pushing Falun Gong/CIA lies and disinfo. The CCP got to the bottom of where it started a long time ago.

Where did you get that screenshot?

 

I can't find that article anywhere on the web, or anything that suggests that that even happened.

You are obviously just a shill for the CCP but do you mean to tell me you are that stupid and they still chose you to push their bullshit on Reddit, Liveleak, and now a tiny community called Spike Nation without even vetting you to see if you could grasp an obvious joke?

It's not obviously a joke at all. Seems more like you got caught out with more of your horseshit.

Nah, not obvious at all. Even for the CCP, a fish market in Hafnarfjordur, Iceland didn't clue you in?

 

Trump congratulating Kim on keeping his coronavirus numbers down (to zero) didn't....well, yeah nothing Trump does is a surprise. Still, your CCP handlers would be a little disappointed. Don't fuck up like that on larger platforms for your CCP propaganda. Re-education Camp Dinmin not nice.

no I can barely read anything other than the headline & your 'humour' was sarcastic which has trouble getting across in text form at the best of times. You flick between losing your shit & being facetious it's really not easy to keep up sometimes.
