Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, has been chosen to lead the African Union. The 90 year old has been identified with Pan Africanism stated “African resources should belong to Africa and to no one else except those we invite as friends. Friends we shall have, yes, but imperialists and colonialists no more. Africa is for Africans.”.
Mugabe also shared that “given that the continent is rich in mineral resources – and resources should be seen to contribute more meaningfully to Africa’s development – they are our wealth and we must guard against their being exploited for the benefit of others.”
Africans-Americans and Africans throughout the diaspora should support Robert Mugabe and not fall victim to the Western narrative (American, British & French) that he is a “terrorist”. The truth is that millions around the world identify him as a “revolutionary” and “liberator”.
