Do people remember when the late midget was humiliated when HE and other monkeys were not allowed to eat in the same table as the G-7 Group leaders in Edinburgh Scotland.
Today African leaders were humiliated when they were only allowed to be put in place in one buss to attend the funeral of queen Elisabeth but one African leader refused to be mistreated in this manner and that leader is the current Ethiopian president. Sahle work.

IRON LADY| Meet The Only African Leader Who Refused To Attend Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral In A Bus
Last week, the whole of Africa felt belittled after seeing their leaders in a bus en route to the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral at Westminster Abbey.
Following the death of Britain’s longest monarch, foreign dignitaries, including African presidents, made their way to the funeral to pay their last respects at the global event.
Global leaders were ordered to give up their diplomatic cars and, instead, share transport with their fellow Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings and Sheikhs as part of plans organised by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to enable safe travel to the Queen’s funeral.
US President Joe Biden was allowed to attend the funeral in his armour-plated “Beast”, much to the anger of Africans online. This spurred up racist sentiments as netizens echoed that their African leaders were being humiliated.
Only one President refused to be “disparaged” like that and stood her ground.
President Sahle-Work Zewde of Ethiopia refused to be loaded into a bus, an anomaly that has not happened anywhere.
Africa Archive reports that when requested to get on the bus, she vehemently stood her ground in refusal. She said:
“I won’t go like this. I need the same level of respect as others. This has many implications I have my own Embassy’s cars for the protocol.”
