Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>This is not the first time that a member of the British royal family has faced allegations of racism. In an interview with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey last year, William\u2019s sister-in-law Meghan Markle claimed that some royals had raised “concerns” about the skin colour of her and Harry’s first child before he was born.<\/p>\n

Prince William is facing massive online criticism for remarking that the British people are \u201cmore used to seeing conflict in Africa and Asia\u201d. \u201cIt\u2019s very alien to see this in Europe,\u201d the 39-year-old William said during a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London on Wednesday, according to the Evening Standard. Prince William was visiting the centre with his wife Kate.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were there to express their solidarity with the Ukrainians and even reportedly offered volunteers trays of homemade sweets. The \u201cracist\u201d utterances by the 39-year-old heir struck a tender nerve with many social media users around the world.<\/p>\n

In India, several users reminded William about the \u201cwar and bloodshed\u201d initiated by the British when it led a colonial government on the subcontinent.<\/p>\n

Other social media users reminded William of the more recent conflicts in Europe, including in erstwhile Yugoslavia as well as Germany (the Second World War) in the 20th century. The prince has lived through conflicts in Kosovo (1998-99) and Yugoslavia (1991-2001).<\/p>\n

Another social media user accused William of \u201cdehumanising\u201d the pain of black and brown people. The backlash faced by the British royal comes days after sections of the American media faced criticism for what some have described as \u201cracist\u201d coverage of the events in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

CBS’ senior foreign correspondent Charlie D\u2019Agata was forced to apologise for his remarks after he stated on air that people hadn\u2019t expected conflict to break out in a \u201crelatively civilised, relatively European\u201d country such as Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen con\ufb02ict raging for decades,\u201d D\u2019Agata said while reporting from Ukraine this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a relatively civilised, relatively European – I have to choose those words carefully too – city, one where you wouldn\u2019t expect that or hope that it\u2019s going to happen,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced special military operations aimed at demilitarisation and \u201cde-Nazification\u201d of Ukraine on 24 February. The mission, undertaken in coordination with the Donetsk and Lugansk People\u2019s republics, began after weeks of escalating shelling, sniper and sabotage attacks by Ukrainian forces against the Donbass militias and settlements, and days after Russia formally recognised DPR and LPR as independent states.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s military operation has attracted strong criticism from the US, the European Union and other western allies, which have slapped wide-ranging economic sanctions against Russian financial institutions as well Moscow\u2019s political and military leadership.<\/p>\n

Moscow says that Russian forces will immediately halt the military operations on four conditions: first, if Ukrainian forces stop fighting back; second, if Kiev enshrines a neutral status in its constitution; third, if Crimea is acknowledged as Russian territory; and fourth, if the two Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk are recognised as independent states.<\/p>\n

After three rounds of talks between Ukraine and Russia designed to defuse the crisis, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that he was ready to discuss the \u201cfuture of Crimea and Donbass\u201d with Moscow.[5 image]<\/p>\n
