United States Ambassador congratulates RB

Share

United States Ambassador to Zambia Donald E. Booth today offered his congratulations to new Zambian President Rupiah Banda.  In a message to President Banda, Ambassador Booth highlighted the warm relations and close partnership that the United States and Zambia have enjoyed over the years—a relationship built on “mutual trust, respect and hard work.”

Ambassador Booth noted that the presidential election was a sign of the maturity of Zambia’s democratic development, and that he was encouraged by President Banda’s commitment to good governance and regional peace and stability.

Ambassador Booth, who attended the inauguration ceremony Sunday, said he looked forward to working closely with the new administration.

  1. Guys what are these warm relations that these ambassadors talk about. Stop the nonsense. Just end at congratulating RB. How can there be warm relations between the wealthiest and one of the poorest countries in the world? If those relations were indeed warm we would be benefiting.

  2. I SEND MY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE RULLING PARTY WHICH HAS A NATIONAL CHARACTERISTIC AND TO THE ABLE PRESIDENT R.B. MY CONDOLENCES TO THE HOPELESS SNAKE.

    Thank you Mr US Ambassador and the US(A) government in general. We really appreciate your help and partnership. Take care and all the best tomorrow’s elections (4th November, 2008) to DEEMOCRATICALLY elect a new US President.

  4. Mr President Rupiah Bwezani Banda, please find a very healthy and enrgetic MAN IN THE MMD OR ELSEWHERE TO be the vice President of Zambia, please. I personally do not need Sata to have another chance of almost winning the Zambian Presidency since you are quite old now. I would like you to search carefully and not to be moved by those who campaigned for you only especially those with questionable reputation and records.Thank you all Zambians for making sure that Sata lost.To president HH,continue doing a noble cause for Zambia.No matter how the MMD copuy your mighty UPND manifesto, they will never succeed in implementing it because an uplifted material will never equal the original one.

  5. Warm relatiosn are good. It is a good starting point, otherwise you cant do business. USA cant say the same about Zim.

    Now what we need is to translate that warm relations into an economic one that benefits the people of Zambia more. RB already bemoaned the little investment from USA when he accepted credentials from Mr Booth a few weeks ago. He has raised this issue with the USA through the diplomat. There’s what we call diplomatic language. I hope relevant ministries will make sure that economic ties with USA bring more investments into Zambia. You start from somewhere. Obama’s grandma is in Kenya, hope this is good for Africa.

  6. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEW CABINET AND PRAY THAT THERE WILL BE MORE RESPONSIBLE AND FOCUSED PEOPLE DETERMINED TO MAKE ZAMBIA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN FOR EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ZAMBIAN. MY PRAY IS THAT THERE WILL BE NO FAVOURS BUT PIPO WILL BE APPOINTED ON MERIT. CONGRATULATIONS TO HIS EXCELLENCY .

  7. The world is undergoing a forced revolution that we are blind to see just the other day i was watching a documentary that pointed in this direction it has facts.
    The economic situation was getting stagnant something drastic had to happen ie 9/11 if there are egineers out there answere me this what building hit from the top fulls in a straight line,,, i can answer that one for you demolition building????

  8. That’s bull sh!t! What warm relations does Zambia have with the US? Now that they are going to work closely with the new administration, Ambassador Booth should probably use an oxygen tank in the presence of Toadface. Those gigantic frog-like nostrils

  9. Before I go any further, how old is Thandiwe Banda?
    As for the ambassador, he is expected to congratulate an incoming president, as thus intells his credentials. back to my earlier question, how old is Thadiwe? I am not trying to be mean but this bothers my concious a lot.

  10. lets see the worst mmd is doing now that zambia has been thrown to dogs for three years
    i couldnt imagine that chiluba was even there. so he was praying for levy’s death
    mwebantu imwe sure…this country will be robbed again

  11. what does us know. we will see tomorrow when obama and macain results. we know black americans are being defranchised now what cna tehy tell us about good governance

  12. Akaabuta mpuuti mu state house, meaning a young lady in state house. you will see very little of me until HH and PF come together.

  13. 23 Nyama Soya. not for 3 yrs but for 5 yrs. thats wat ur president wanted didnt he?? to hell with you and your thug Sata.

    you are ryte 27 people are just jealous Viva RB

  14. Those of you suggetsing who RB should put as VIP are not being fare to yourselves. our practice and trend in MMD is that the VIP position goes to one who has delivered a province. In this case the vip must come from western, northwestern or central. we dont reason with sympathy in MMD. if you want sata to be VIP l;et it be in PF not MMD no room for rotten applen or lame ducks. please mind your buisnesses in PF and the POST, so that we develop this country peacefully. the rural pipo have chosen and we must deliver to them including you.

  15. #20 why insult the man like that? #21 is right, RB is a human being just like you. Please lets stick to discussing real issues.

  17. number 20 u probably have a nose like him too. have you ever looked yourself in the mirror. or maybe the mirror doesnt want to see you.

  18. Congratulations to RB yes, he won and thats that, BUT HOW OLD IS MRS THANDIWE BANDA? this freaks me out some one answer that simple question so as I can blog in ones years time when we have a greatest opposition candidate. God bless you all.

  19. Not suprised bwana booth. Before martinez left she briefed members of staff by the embassy about Late LPM not coming back before offially pronounced dead. Secondly she said the only way forward is for MMD to continue. Lastly the US embassy sent alot of its employees to chipata in to assist in the rigging excersise.

    God bless you for bringing poverty into our country you heartless booth.

  20. bandawe u a loser!!! u guys dont seem to like Chinese, u dont like Indians, u dont like Brits now u saying u dont like USA. Zambia is poor it needs a hand from somwer.

    maybe zambia should be freinds with you but i take it you dont have much to offfer.

    I suggest u Shut up and put up with wats on the ground

    Get a life man!!

  21. Number 33 you mongrel dog-b!tch, I don’t need your fcuking comments against me. The he11’s wrong with your brains man? Or is it that you don’t have a brain. You and Toadface go kiss as$ m0therfcuker. My comment was about a politician so how do you pop out of your smelling pus$y wh0rehouse disrespecting me. Is that what you do in the U.K selling mirrors. You’d better pray you don’t return to Zambia, I’ll find you and give you a thrashing, you will sustain more injuries than the wrinkles on your d!ck you old piece of rotting sh!t cokcface.

  22. #This follows the nice pictures in w w w . lusakatimes . c o m / ? p = 5245. I just like to see how Former President FTJ Chiluba (Hon. Doctor, Malawi) dribbled Sata 3 times in a roll – a reall and nice hat-trick. I wrote about it before the elections that ba-Chiluba will help us to dribble Sata together with the POST and caused Sata to lose. How nice to see how ba-Chiluba has helped my country Zambia to be without a dictator as Zambian President.
    Huts off ba-Chiluba, please hang on for you might just help us dribble Sata again in 2011. Take care and be blessed. The good Lord, God, surely forgives and please confess anything that is not yet right between you and God, if you haven’t yet.

  23. All those talking about Thandiwe should stop, she is an adult and we gave her out in marriage as she was mature and the two consented to marry. They are happy and as a family we are looking forward to visit them in State House. Who knows my appointment may be on the way for the role i played for my brother in law during the campaigns, all becoz of Thandiwe

  24. No# 49 we do agree she was an adult, all I ask is her official age, not the reverse of african soccer player ages but hers. How old is Thandiwe? They are happily married and that is fine, but how old is she. As young men we want to know how Zambians are doing it that way, for the Older American Pumas are stealing young men in marriage while the young girls watch. Could some one please clear my concious; answer my question and my blogging stops.

  25. Number 39 u seem really really pissed off with the comment i made earlier.

    Your comments in 39 makes the story clearer. You really have a size ten nose.

    Am sorry pal. let me take you to the comments you made in 20. you call RB a toadface, i suggest you change your name to Mphuno size 10 (nose size 10)

    U cant threaten me pal UK is more powerful than Russia. and even if i decide to go to Zambia………… i will have your assed kicked b4 u get to me.

    learn to respect yourself than others will respect you.

  26. # 51, I have better things to do than argue with a simple-minded f0ol such as yourself. How does Russia and UK come in? Your argument is baseless and childish. Your way of thinking leaves a lot to be desired. Where did you inherit such a small brain from? Or is it that you think through your balls. You’re a piece of rubbish, a ba$tard and you probably found out only recently that Toadface is your father. You have the nerve to talk about respect? Start with yourself, learn to respect the opinions of others. Including anti-government opinions.

  27. R. Banda, Tatamashimba & Mwaanga are flying to a campaign rally in Solwezi. Teta looks at Mwaanga & chuckles: ‘you Know, I could throw a K50, 000 note out the window right now and make one voter very happy.
    Mwaanga shrugs his shoulders & says: ‘Well, I could throw five K10, 000 notes out of the window and make five voters very happy.’
    RB says: ‘Of course, but I could throw ten K5,000 notes out of the window & make ten voters very happy.’
    The pilot rolls his eyes, looks at all of them, & says: ‘I could throw all of you out of the window and make the Whole country very happy

  28. #53, its not a funny joke but I’ll take it for now. Vima voters niva woyo pa Zed! You vote for a man backed by FTJ, the same parasite that made you redundunt!

  29. #56 you’re high on cocaine. Those many X’s in your name I understand why your pathetic brain fails to function. You are just out to attack fellow bloggers, you have nothing better to do. You’re a piece of scum, i don’t know what you mean about size 10 or whatever, it’s rubbish all the same. You and Toadface probably have the best supplies of oxygen in the world those big hippo-sized nostrils are scary like some alien from a movie. The lice on your balls have crawled into your brain and now you’ve become a sleepy slow-thinker like Toadface. Toadface regrets that condom burst and you somehow managed to make it into this world, you low-life piece of garbage.

  30. Thanks to the USA govt, we need yo support.
    For get Satanas claims , wat do u expect from a person who has a name like that of satan , u think he means well for the nation or he will sacrifice the nation to his mate the devil.
    God has delivered us from satana Amen
