When the US President,
Donald J. Trump, referred to Africans in the US as coming from Shithole
countries, it brought in a wave of consternation to Africans and to the
continent at large. Many African leaders were calling on US ambassadors in
their respective countries, to give further clarifications on what they thought
was an ill-advised statement from the US President. The purpose of this
literature is to paint a picture of the African continent as it has been
accurately described by some authors of Contemporary African Literature,
unfortunately, and show how, or maybe the statement of President Trump may have
been spot-on. The writer will defer any such critique of this write-up to his
readers to draw their own conclusions as to whether African countries were
appropriately described by Trump as shitholes or not.
