Moussa Faki Mahmat told African foreign ministers gathering in the Ethiopian capital that many are still digesting Trump's comment that the continent's countries are like a filthy toilet. He said African leaders may also respond to other statements and actions by Trump. The continent cannot keep quiet about all these," said Mahmat, AP reported. Botswana's government called Trump's comment "reprehensible and racist" and summoned the US ambassador to explain. The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres responded to Trump's remark by saying that "the dignity, equality and human rights of refugees and migrants has to be respected everywhere."
