Did US President Donald Trump lie again in the Oval Office? Or did he just mix up his African geography?
In what seemed like a proud ambush of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the White House, Trump presented some news articles and images as evidence of a 'white genocide' in the post-Apartheid nation.
Turns out, some of those images were actually from conflict ridden Democratic Republic of Congo.
One such article, showing humanitarian workers lifting body bags, was actually a screen Grab of a video, in the Congolese city of Goma, published by Reuters on February 3. The footage was shot after the violent conflict between DRC's security forces and Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.
As Ramaphosa tried to reason with Trump and counter the allegations, the US President played this video, claiming it showed the graves of more than a thousand white farmers. (footage that Trump claimed were the graves of more than a thousand white farmers)
The BBC fact-checked the video, saying it actually showed a temporary memorial site, located off a highway connecting Newcastle and Normandein in South Africa. It was reportedly built after two Afrikaner farmers were murdered.
Whether Trump was aware of the falsehoods and inaccuracies or not, they certainly debunk his conspiracy theory of a 'white genocide' in South Africa.
