Zambia was “saddened” to learn about the murder attempt and wished Trump “quick and full recovery.”

“We join [President Biden] and other world leaders in condemning yesterday’s shocking act of violence. Peace and democracy must always triumph over hatred and bloodshed,” President Hakainde Hichilema said.

The Western part of the continent also did not stand aside. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu expressed sympathy for Trump and condolences to the family of the deceased, wishing a speedy recovery for the wounded.

“The attack on former President Donald Trump is distasteful and goes beyond the pale of democratic norms. Violence has no place in democracy. […] Nigeria stands in solidarity with the United States of America at this time,” he stated.
