🇺🇸🇿🇦 Spokesperson for the U.S. State Department on X:
"The United States stands ready to help the descendants of settlers in South Africa who are being expropriated and abused by the South African government.
Pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order, the State Department is suspending all non-life saving aid to the Republic of South Africa.
Persecuted South African farmers and other innocent victims being targeted solely based on their race who choose to resettle in America will be welcome.
The United States will also defend the rights and interests of those remaining descendants of settlers threatened with expropriation without compensation and other intolerable abuses.
We will no longer stand by while God-given rights are so cruelly violated."

WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." NEWS As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm.
