Kenyans on Twitter Joined millions of others around the world to show solidarity to Africans who are currently suffering in China.
Africans have been dealing with a lot of racial attacks lately in China after the Corona outbreak with many Chinese accusing them of spreading Corona Virus.
On Monday 4, users took to Twitter to condemn this act using the hashtag #BlackChina urging the Chinese to treat Africans with respect.
Others asked their respective government to work on flying their nationals back home to end the mistreatment.
The African continent is begin to finally wake up about the danger of China. The African leaders finally realize they got to confront China over racism and abuse of Africans in China.#chinaracism .#BlackChina .#Africa .#PanAfricanism .

The hashtags come at a time when Kenyans have also been appealing the government to rescue citizens who are stuck in the country. Kenyans in the country sent distress messages to the embassy saying they are facing racial attacks and that they have neglected by the Chinese govt.

Kenyans living in China have been kicked out of their houses and now live on the streets, depending on well-wishers for food and other basic requirements.
The Kenyan government responded to this through a statement requesting Chinese government to tackle the matter.
In a press statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government stated that it had raised the complaint with Beijing over the issue and China said it’s working with local authorities in Guangzhou to safeguard all the Kenyans there while violence had spiked.
This is a problem the whole Africa has been facing and they united at Twitter to air their grievances.
Here are more tweets:
Come to think of it…Africa is a continent with so much potential we just need to make a few changes to how we do things around here #BlackChina

Africans leaders think its impossible to stop givng huge construction contracts to china and build the road & bridges themselves. That’s where we go wrong; Chinese only rose to power when they startd buildg and makng their own stuff, Chairman Mao made sure they did. #BlackChina
