Нет, африканцам не отказывали в доступе к гробу с телом папы римского Франциска
Видео, на котором, как утверждается, видно, как человека в Ватикане не пускают к телу почившего понтифика, появилось в сети еще до начала церемонии погребения.

00:00No, Africans were not denied access to visit Pope Francis' body.
00:09A whole host of posts on X are alleging that the Vatican authorities prevented African citizens from approaching Pope Francis' 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.
00:25He'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, with some claiming that it amounts to racism.
00:39However, this isn't true.
00:41St Peter's Basilica was open to all, with tens of thousands queuing to see his open coffin, including Africans.
00:47People were able to see the late Pope lying in state between the 23rd and 25th of April, according 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 the 22nd of April, a day before the lying in state began and the day after Pope Francis' death.
01:05This is despite even certain news outlets claiming that the event shown in the video occurred while the Pope's body was on display to the public.
01:13The reverse image search also takes us to local Italian news reports, which were also published on the 22nd of April.
01:19These say that the man appeared to bypass security checks and the large queue of the faithful, who 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, and 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 on the grounds of their country of origin or the color of their skin, including a lack of any such announcement from the Vatican itself.
