Africa Needs Another Revolution - Robert Mugabe by eDoctorr(m): 5:46pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
President Mugabe has said Africa needs another
revolution as it lacks complete independence due to
the continued exploitation of it’s natural resources
by the erstwhile masters.
The President, who was invited to the G20 summit
in his capacity as the AU chair, told world leaders
attending the meeting on Sunday that the continent
remained at the level of subsistence, but with
support, could register growth and development.
“We don’t control our economy. Our natural
resources are exploited by our erstwhile masters. It
is that area which we must address with you. That
requires another revolution.
“Even in politics we have others who want to
overlook us. We need technology, funding, loans,
not just grants to get us to move beyond primary to
secondary levels. Adding value to our resource.
That will give us greater capacity. Greater value,”
said the President.
President Mugabe said he was glad that countries
like China, India, Japan and Turkey have invested in
“those areas of our infrastructure and have helped
us build institutions for skills upgrading.”
President Mugabe added: “The educational levels of
our people must be raised so they are able to match
those of the advanced industries.”
He said the AU had adopted sustainable
development goals leading to 2063 that would see
the continent’s economies moving from primary to
secondary production.
“You look at us as a lower class now because we
don’t qualify to be in your G-20 for now. But with
support we should achieve inclusive growth and
development. Our people have natural resources.
But we want them to enjoy natural resources that
are in their hands, that are in their hands. We want
them in their hands,” said President Mugabe.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, US President
Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David
Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and
Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with many other
leaders around the world listened attentively as
President Mugabe spoke.
The summit, which was held at the Regnum Carya
Golf and Spa Resort and Convention Centre, was
supposed to focus on migration and climate change,
but this has changed following the deadly attacks in
Paris, France which left more than 130 people dead.
Talks on ISIS have now taken centre stage with
Turkish President Mr Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his
US counterpart Mr Obama, holding a press
conference to denounce the attacks in Paris.
After the press conference, the summit started with
the leaders from the various nations walking into
the summit venue after posing for handshakes with
Mr Erdogan. http://www.alafnet.com/robert-mugabe-says-africa-needs-another-revolution/ |

Most revolutions involves getting rid of corrupt, greedy and heartless leaders or rulers who have enslaved their countries with misrule and fraud, held their countries with chains thereby preventing economic growth and prosperity. Ask Mugabe if a revolution occurs in his country, will he survive it? |

Imagine a dictator talking about revolution. The revolution Africa needs is to get rid of old fools who have refused to retire and allow the younger generations rule. Example, Buhari, Mugabe etc |
