The African Union is a puppet organization having for objective only to block the advent of the United States of Africa. But when this Federation will come into existence, and it will be one day, willingly or by force, the State of Israel will be annexed to it. Since it absolutely wants to be associated with the Continent.

The Israelis complain that when there are resolutions in the United Nations General Assembly on the Palestinian issue, the African states vote as one man in favor of the Palestinians. They therefore need to be observers in an organization where PLO leaders often speak from the podium. The petromonarchies of the Arab-Persian Gulf are today too crowded with the petrodollar or whahabism to really support the Palestinians. The secular Arab states, Iraq, Syria, which were the most vigorous supporters of the Palestinian cause, have practically disappeared from the geopolitical map.

The other members of the AU need to check these francophone countries and their constant need to cater or cowtail to outside nations. How does on person get to make such a big decision unilaterally. They are a shame and a headache on the continents needs for standing alone.

[@Afrometa]

One of the great leaders

[@napoleonlaguerre5587]

I am glad that you have that great Scholar on your show

[@MichaelKatide]

Haiti is the sacred place of resistance to tyranny. The next significant reference point is the Battle of Isandlwana when amaZulu regiments defeated the British forces. That the AU does not commemorate Haiti’s independence day (1st January) which is in any-case already a holiday and January 22 (Battle of Isandlwana) tells us how they genuinely feel about African freedom.

[@anitasworld7007]

Stop bragging about only one battle.You lost teribbly to them in the battles that followed .Battle of Ulundi,Bloodriver etc and the Boers whipped you everytime you met, your province was disorganised by them.To this day even Indians think they own KZN and became like colonialists

[@MichaelKatide]

@@anitasworld7007 You are the one who fought in those battles hence you live to tell us the story -and hence your views are so outdated.

[@asparagusonly]

Stop living in the past. How is us celebrating Haitian independence day going to help us with our corruption? Our tribalism? Our nepotism?... Chinese financial colonization? How?

[@uodavid]

Sir. Prof LUMUMBA, I think it is high time you contributed your service to the OAU.

[@DuraAfrica]

They will not allow him, because they bow down to the west

[@gyata7270]

When an African nation gains observer status in the European Union, this conversation can got ahead and necessarily about giving Israel that status either.

[@uodavid]

LLL... LIVE LONG LUMUMBA. 😘 YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY PROFILE

[@cuddifrom6]

They just wanna bug the building and listen to leaders

[@alisarashid5650]

Dr. Lumumba is brilliant - excellent discussion. Dr. Hill you asked good questions.

[@gertrudeisaac7539]

THAT'S A GENUINE B(L)ACKWARD MOVE. NO DIFFERENCE IN THE CARIBBEAN. HOPE ONE DAY TRUST AND UNITY WILL PREVAIL, TO LINK AFRICA, THE AMERICAS AND THE CARIBBEAN, THAT IS SO NEEDED, IN THIS TIME. FIR

[@gy8764]

Well said Professor Lumbumba. 100%

[@tesfanaable]

OAU need to be dismembered and demobilized and bring in a new breed of leaders who have African interests at heart with zero influence from external forces. Countries who violate this trust should be banned from the membership. We need people like this guy leading the continent. The corruption OAU has is sickening, with zero moral compass.

[@ayelleefun2620]

The biggest problem is that there isn't a powerful military, say what you want, believe as you may, at the end of the day it is the one with the gun who dictates regardless of how little education and morality, the gun holder always tells the knife wielding to put down the knife or else.

[@umibrahimibrahim4966]

Thank you Lummumba.

[@aliciam7677]

It would great if African Leaders and the African Union could work with Black Americans and other Black people through the world and Diaspora to build economic partnerships and citizenship opportunities.

[@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993]

When they can't even build partnerships at local level? It's up to Africans and black Americans to do whatever they want instead of waiting for self serving leaders to do it for them. No law stopping you from starting a partnership and growing it as big as blackrock,fidelity,vanguard or Schwab

[@khadijayanni9120]

Great interview and discussion.

[@winterlongmire501]

I like this guy

[@ssilent8202]

Good for them.

[@warrenhunter3104]

Why Isreal? We are fully capable of monitoring our own business. Wake the hell up AU leaders!

[@AZus6pd]

Definitely.

[@Infiniteinfinities]

I love how PLO Lumumba speaks. He is so cool.

[@winterlongmire501]

Preach!

[@ibcham9926]

TELL THE CHILDREN THE TRUTH...IMANCIPATE YOUR SELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY NONE BUT OUR SELFS CAN FREE OUR MINDS 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🪘 THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH PROFESSOR LUMUMBA ...🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟...DON'T GAIN THE WORLD AND LOOSE YOUR SOUL, WISDOM IS BETTER THAN SILVER AND GOLD..... REVELUTION IS A MOST 🐈‍⬛ NO MORE ONKEL SAM..💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@Neteruk]

Observer status grants a country the ability to participate in the organization's activities. These countries don't have the ability to vote or propose resolutions. AU observer members include Palestine territory, China, the UK, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Kuwait, and Greece.

[@joeblow8732]

It’s treatment of people of color is another reason for not observer status. How can antisemite be raised when European Jews are not semites. Semite denotes indigenous people in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Gulf region. People from another region converting to a Semitic religion are not Semitic.

[@leob.venzen1153]

semite is relating to languages, e.g. arabs are semites as well because arabic is a semitic language.

[@rb26benjamin8]

Semetic meaning comes from shem europeans are semetic but not the chosen people of god .those of the curses deuteronomy 28 are the real chosen.

[@antowalk2743]

Haiti must be admitted to the African Union due to Haiti's symbolic historical meaning.

[@emillionairex315]

Mark, Thank you!

[@dwrighte1]

The first question should be, why should the AU grant observer status to non-African countries in the first place? 🤔🤔🤔

[@maliksy7746]

Right Lamont, Haiti must join Africa

[@oliviamonteque6407]

Hold TOGETHER , UNITE AND HELP EACH OTHER! LEND EACH OTHER MONEY. STOP BEGGING!

[@asparagusonly]

What money?! 🤣
