The United States has announced it will not attend this year's Group of 20 (G20) summit in South Africa, citing concerns over human rights abuses against white farmers. The decision, made by the Biden administration, follows a long-standing accusation by the US government that the South African government has allowed minority white Afrikaner farmers to be persecuted and attacked. According to a statement, the US government is troubled by reports of land confiscation and violence against white farmers, and believes these issues need to be addressed before any official representation can be made. This decision reflects a broader pattern of international engagement, with the US prioritizing human rights and fairness in its diplomatic efforts. South African officials have rejected the allegations, with President Cyril Ramaphosa stating that information about the alleged discrimination is 'completely false.' The country's government has pointed out that white people in South Africa generally enjoy a higher standard of living than its Black residents, more than three decades after the end of the apartheid system of white minority rule. The US decision to boycott the summit has sparked a debate about international relations and human rights. While the South African government has expressed surprise at the accusations, the US government remains committed to promoting human rights and fairness around the world.
