Former U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks slammed global silence over rising violence against white farmers during a recent discussion of President Trump’s meeting with South Africa’s leader. Marks, appointed by Trump in 2020, warned that Marxist policies have fueled attacks on conservative values and property rights.
The Trump administration confronted South Africa’s president about widespread land seizures targeting Afrikaner families. Conservative voices argue these policies amount to ethnic cleansing, with over 70 farm murders reported last year alone. Marks highlighted how woke media outlets ignore this crisis while preaching about social justice.
South Africa’s government has stripped property rights from thousands of white farmers under “land reform” laws. Armed gangs frequently torture and kill families in rural areas, with police doing little to stop the violence. Many conservatives call this a slow-motion genocide enabled by globalist politicians.
President Trump demanded accountability for these atrocities during the meeting, invoking America’s tradition of standing with the oppressed. His administration previously threatened sanctions against South African leaders promoting race-based policies. Critics claim Western leaders prioritize cheap mining deals over human lives.
The South African president allegedly dismissed concerns, echoing far-left rhetoric about “decolonizing” the economy. Marks blasted this as code for punishing hardworking citizens who built the nation’s agricultural sector. She warned that collapsing farms could trigger nationwide food shortages.
Radical groups have circulated hit lists targeting white business owners, with some calling for total expulsion of European descendants. Churches holding memorials for murdered farmers face vandalism and threats. Many families now sleep with rifles by their beds as protection.
Conservatives urge immediate action to halt this persecution, including freezing South African officials’ foreign assets. Marks praised Trump for putting America first by defending Christian communities worldwide. She called weak global responses a betrayal of Western civilization’s founding principles.
This showdown reveals a growing divide between patriotic leaders and global elites ignoring human rights abuses. Trump’s willingness to confront harsh truths contrasts sharply with woke politicians enabling violence through silence. The fight for South Africa’s soul continues as brave voices demand freedom over Marxist destruction.
