The Basic Law of Germany, Art 1: (1) Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority. (2) The German people therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world.

South Africa remains deeply unequal, with land and wealth still concentrated among the 7% white minority. Trump is cutting aid to the country, not to promote justice, but to preserve these imbalances and obstruct efforts toward economic equity.
