Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Prince of the ex-colonial British empire, Prince William, reiterated his racist remarks that Africa\u2019s population is destroying the continent\u2019s wildlife. The Prince was speaking at the Tusk conservation awards in the United Kingdom\u2019s capital London on Tuesday evening this week.<\/p>\n

Prince William, currently second in line to the British royal throne, said increasing pressure on the continent\u2019s \u201cwildlife and wild spaces as a result of human population\u201d was presenting a \u201chuge challenge for conservationists, as it does the world over\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to Aljazeera, the 39-year-old first blamed Africa\u2019s population for destroying wildlife in 2017. Then, the Prince declared that Africa\u2019s \u201crapidly growing human population\u201d was exalting \u201cenormous pressure\u201d on the continent\u2019s wildlife and habitats.<\/p>\n

However, critics and social media commentators have described the remarks as racist embedded in the Prince\u2019s own colonial disposition. Journalist Nadine Batchelor-Hunt tweeted that Africa\u2019s current population density was considerably lower than that of Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica isn\u2019t even in the top two most populated continents \u2013 it\u2019s Asia, then (surprise, surprise) EUROPE. The UK is also one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Prince William needs to mind his own rarted business and take his neo-colonial mindset elsewhere [sic].<\/p>\n

\u201cAsia population density: 100 per square kilometre. Europe population density: 72.9 per square kilometre. Africa population density: 36.4 per square kilometre. Prince William, with two kids and another on the way: it is clear Africa are having too many children here.\u201d tweeted Batchelor-Hunt.<\/p>\n

It its report, Aljazeera made note of other people who say Prince William has \u201cno moral authority to say anything about Africa or about Africans and their lives\u201d as his country and royal lineage has benefited from pillaging resources from the continent for generations.<\/p>\n

Others highlighted the fact that the Royal family has emitted more carbon which is destroying the planet and its wildlife. There is not a single sub Saharan African country in the top 30 countries for carbon emissions per capita. Meanwhile\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/IR2wvXMIPb pic.twitter.com\/iO86hKMMWw<\/p>\n
