Leaders Urged Ending of Economic Sanctions on Zimbabwe
Calling the White House to register his disappointment with President Obama for allowing the decades long economic sanctions on Zimbabwe, Joe Beasley declared that "The United States and the European Union must end the sanctions against Zimbabwe." His call came as the United States is feverishly engaged in ending economic sanctions against Cuba. Joe Beasley is the head of Africa Ascension, a key leader of RainbowPush Coalition and an Executive Support leader in the World African Diaspora Union (WADU).
Baba Beasley added that "Zimbabwe has been picked on too much, and for too long by imperialist powers" and pointed that the "centuries of unfair, racist, unjust, uncivilized and inhumane treatment of Black people by the white world must be stopped." The sanctions were imposed by the West to promote regime change in Zimbabwe after the liberation government reclaimed land stolen by whites to be returned to their original owners, Black people. All studies have shown that economic sanctions are inhumane tools of war and have not had any major impact on regime change but have had negative effects on the sustainable development of the world, including nations such as Zimbabwe and Cuba.
The President of Zimbabwe, legendary leader Baba Robert Mugabe was just elected as the new chair of the African Union, and also as the head of the Southern African Development Community. In his acceptance speech in Africa's Capital of Ethiopia, he expressed that members of the African Union have recommitted themselves "to the Pan-African ideals of our founding fathers for the Africa we want." He also emphasized in his speech that "African resources should belong to Africa and to no one else, except to those we invite as friends," declaring "Friends we shall have, yes, but imperialists and colonialists no more."
The ardent Pan Africanist urged Africans to regain control over Africa's land and resources "as that is the only way for African states will leverage their resources for the benefits of their people". Mugabe was greatly influenced by the great Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to work for the liberation and unification of Africa. The AU is the continuation of this work for the unfinished business of a United States of Africa recently pushed by the unprecedented zeal of President Moumar Khaddafi. &nb sp;
During the meetings, President Mugabe was praised by the AU leaders and staff upon as the new head. Mr. Salah Hammad, head of the AU staff lauded Baba Mugabe as "not just the chairperson of the Union but one of the founding fathers…" He continued "We are also receiving one of the leaders who liberated our continent, who made it possible for you and me, to be employed today by the African Union, who made it possible for me to stand before you to address you this afternoon…"
As a consequence of the Summit, Dr. B. Chitunya, who served as the WADU lead and official delegate to the AU Summit also called for the "burdensome sanctions should be lifted from the backs of African women and children." Urging the American people to contact their government leaders to halt the economic war on Zimbabwe, she said that the people of Zimbabwe like Black people across the world have only known centuries of ubiquitous oppression. "Black Lives Matter" everywhere, she declared.
In respect for the theme of the African Union "Women Empowerment and Development Towards Agenda 2063", the new head of the AU, concluded that women and youth of Africa are its greatest assets for the advancement of Africans in the 21st century. The Summit also focused on Security, Trade, Ebola, Infrastructural Development, and th e establishment of an African Court. Other members of the African Diaspora delegation to the AU Summit were Mr. David Josue and Mr. Gorken "Che" Wallen.
