Africa holds its ground and speaks up, standing tall and owing its rightful place in the world.
Here are some gems from African officials and personalities,
telling it like it is and putting North American and European officials in their place, too.
The lovely Wongel Zelalem reports on the argument between president of Democratic Republic of the Congo and the president of France.
As US vice-president Kamala Harris visits the African continent, clearly aiming at countering Russia’s popularity there, she gets a takedown in regards to her visit from Zambian opposition leader Fred Mnembe, who tells Washington to back off and keep its hands off Africa.
Mnembe’s fiery speech blasts the US for wanting to preach Africans about democracy with its dark history of enslavement, brutality, colonisation, manipulation, innumerous coups and killing of the continent’s popular leaders such as Gaddafi and Lumumba.
South Africa’s International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor confirmed Russian President Vladimir Putin is welcome to attend the 15th BRICS summit in Pretoria despite the ludicrous, pathetic arrest warrant issued the ICC (The East African) – which, by the way, has only issued arrests previously to black leaders, never before to any European, North American or white people.
Prominent South African politician Julius Malema totally blasts it, calling out Western leaders for crimes committed against African leaders and making it clear Africa knows its friends and won’t be pushed around.
The lovely Wongel Zelalem reports on Namibia president Hage Geingob slamming German politician’s narrative.
Kenya will buy oil from Saudi Arabia in Kenyan shillings instead of US dollars, according to a fuel import agreement signed by Kenyan President William Ruto and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. According to Kenya’s president, the agreement will allow the country access to all of its fuel needs in the form of a six-month loan and eliminate $500 million in monthly demand in the market.
