Africans say they’re forcibly being removed from their homes by Chinese officials who accuse them of importing COVID19.

Speaking to reporters, Africans in |Guangzou and Fujian Province say they are being told that COVID19 is being imported by foreigners and especially black people.

Chinese officials are rolling out a programme of testing for COVID 19.

The Africans fear that being evicted will expose them to coronavirus infection. 

A meeting was held two days ago between Chinese authorities and African community leaders in Guangzhou.

It was said to have had a positive outcome but the evictions have continued.
