00:00No, Africans were not denied access to visit to Pope Francis's body.
00:10A whole host of posts on X are alleging that the Vatican authorities prevented African citizens
00:15from approaching Pope Francis's body to pay their respects as he lay in state.
00:20The posts share a video of a black man in St Peter's Basilica arguing with someone else off screen.
00:26He's then escorted away by security while other visitors to the Vatican look on.
00:30The video is accompanied with captions saying that Africans were blocked from bidding farewell to Pope Francis
00:36with some claiming that it amounts to racism.
00:39However, this isn't true. St Peter's Basilica was open to all,
00:43with tens of thousands queuing to see his open coffin, including Africans.
00:47People were able to see the late Pope lying in state between 23rd and 25th April,
00:52according to news reports at the time.
00:54A reverse image search of a still from the video shows us that it was put online as late as 22nd April,
01:00a day before the lying in state began and the day after Pope Francis's death.
01:05This is despite even certain news outlets claiming that the event shown in the video occurred
01:10while the Pope's body was on display to the public.
01:13The reverse image search also takes us to local Italian news reports,
01:17which were also published on 22nd April.
01:19These say that the man appeared to bypass security checks and the large queue of the faithful,
01:24who had been lining up to bid a figurative farewell to the Bishop of Rome before the lying in state began.
01:30Community notes on certain ex posts also say that the man is known to people living in the area,
01:35and that he often causes a disturbance but is ultimately harmless.
01:39There are no credible sources suggesting that anyone was denied access to see his body
01:44on the grounds of their country of origin or the color of their skin,
01:47including a lack of any such announcement from the Vatican itself.
