Queen Elizabeth II Burial: Mixed Reactions Trail As African Leaders Arrive In Costal Bus To The Venue

Reactions trailed the arrival of African Leaders at the funeral venue of Queen Elizabeth II, at Westminster Abbey on Monday, via a Costal Bus.Social media users have been comparing the privileges given to the United States president, Joe Biden, to use his motorcade, while other leaders, not only African leaders had to arrive via buses.

Joe Biden arrived the venue with his official Car “Beast”, while African Leaders were loaded into a Costal Bus.

A tweep, Dere R Tesfa said, “African leaders including #WilliamsRuto, were lumped into a bus during Queen Elizabeth’s burial. This is considered as an insult and disrespect for #Africa. #ShameOnUK.YejeginaLij replied Tesfa, saying, “Shame on the African leaders who accepted such treatment.”

Emmanuel Lumumba shared a video of the arrival of the US president, Joe Biden in his motorcade and that of African leaders on a bus and said, “Our leaders went to the UK and are being treated the way they treat us.Kasera Achayo tweeted, “Why even bother to go? it’s obvious their absence wouldn’t have been noticed either way. Neo-colonisation is real, I feel sad at these images of mostly African Heads of States being carted in hired buses that are not even uniformed. What a shame.”Stephen Kenneth wrote, “Look at the African Leaders inside the bus looking like burial observers from Africa and invited Guests”
