NEW YORK-(MaraviPost)-During the 74th session of the UN general assembly fact is that not only Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa spoke to empty seats, though he appeared to have the most empty seats, almost all African Presidents were ignored at the time they presented their speeches.
Very few of which were occupied by their representatives.
President Mnangagwa addressing an empty UN General Assembly
This pattern repeated itself every time an African president gave a speech. What message should Africans take from this?
A South African based Doctor and international researcher Doc. Combs Muchindu wondered why we keep on going to the UN summit in New york when all potential donors and donor community long lost our trust due to corruption, suffocation of human rights and misuse of government resources.
Honestly how do you expect representatives and members of IMF and the world Bank to sit back and listen for example to president Emmerson Mnangagwa when they know how corrupt him and his leaders are.
Mnangagwa and his ZANU PF leaders are the wrong people to continue representing Zimbabwe at such a high profile lnternational meeting.Their hands and minds are taken by the world to be filthy and dirty.
While Zimbabweans go through the snubbing of Mnangagwa, Zambians and the rest of Africa also mourn their leaders’ snub.
On the other hand, Malawi President Peter Mutharika also addressed empty chairs and a handful delegates mostly Malawians at the UNGA.
Pictures show that Mutharika speaking to the empty chairs save for a few delegates mostly Malawians.
Most UNGA delegates shunned Mutharika’s address which contained lies.
Other leaders attracted huge crowds during their addresses to the UNGA.
Mutharika took advantage of the empty chairs and a few Malawians to lie that the elections in Malawi were free, fair and credible.
Mutharika was economical with the truth when he forgot to mention that the ‘credible’ elections were being contested in the Constitutional Court.
Instead, Mutharika lied through his teeth that opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) were sponsoring post election violence.
Mutharika also told the empty chamber that he has practiced restraint to the violence by preaching peace.
However, every Malawian including six year old, is aware of Mutharika’s war mongering words when he stated that ‘force will be met with force’ in reaction to anti-Jane Ansah demonstrations organized by the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) not the MCP as he told the world.
Mutharika also lied when he said that he fought violence with love.
A political analyst who did not want to be named said Mutharika’s UNGA speech is very embarrassing and a shame to the Malawi nation.
“How can a whole grown man stand in front of the world (mostly TV stations) and lie about the credibility of the elections in Malawi. Honestly everyone who is following what has been happening in the country must be laughing at us,” he said.
“We will be mocked as having a President who lies in public. This is embarrassing indeed,” he added.
