AU chairman: USA is nonsense


  1. Chancy Namadzunda, AfricaNews reporter in Lilongwe, Malawi
    There is no basis to form a United States of Africa (USA) when there is no unity among the various governments on the continent, stated the newly elected Africa Union Chairman Dr. Bingu wa Mutharika. He said it was "nonsense" to pursue that dream adding his predecessor Muammar Gaddafi pushed it too far.

    “Why should we create one Africa when in our countries and our regional groupings we are not united? Libya is pushing these matters too much,” the Malawian president told the local press upon his arrival from the AU Summit in Ethiopia.

    He added: “We all know why Gaddafi wants the formation of OAU now; it is because he wants to be the first leader. Some of us don’t like other things but we choose to be silent deliberately. We just look at other things when we know they are nonsense.”

    Diplomatic row

    Ahead of the Summit, a diplomatic row brewed over who was suitable to man the affairs of the AU. The Libyan leader’s backers, including their northern allies Tunisia, argue that the AU chairmanship – faced by a US$ 1.3bn deficit for its programmes – needs someone with demonstrable financial muscle like Kadhafi.

    However, the Malawian President said the southern African country was qualified to lead the AU and that he was ready to take up the mantle. “The chairmanship of the African Union is rotational,” Mutharika told journalists before departing for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to attend the summit at which he was earmarked to take over the chairmanship of the continental grouping from the Libyan leader, Kadhafi.

    He said: “The Southern African region, through SADC (the Southern African Development Community), has elected Malawi and therefore we are looking forward to be nominated.”

    West African giant Nigeria joined other countries to back the candidacy of Mutharika according to the Vanguard newspaper.

    I'm a Black man from America and I am very angery about the election to the Chair of the AU of this old dictator Bingu Mutharika who is in the pockets of the west, someone who could slow or turn all of the progress that the AU has accomplished backwards. Why would they elect a man to this position when he doesn't believe in a United States Of Africa and everybody knows he is pro west and in their pockets against any progress Black people can make in Africa. The African Union has to watch out for Benedick Arnolds that would sell out the aspirations, dreams, hopes and future of the African people, they must not be allowed to be in any leadership positions were they could do harm to the process of uniting the 53 African nations into one superpower government. Africa will not survive as a viable continent if it doesn't unite. All of it's natural resources will be exhausted by foreign countries and corporations and the African people will not have a future because of their weak leaders and still not knowing the white man that put the continent in the condition that it is in. The AU needs more leaders like Muammar Kadhafi to get things moving not this old dictator trying to hold on to power and turn other leaders away from the process. Peace
