    • Sudan wants to start exporting terrorists to Zambia and with the help of this ***** Lungu. North Sudan has been killing south Sudanese for years and as such arab(North) Sudan should be viewed as a terrorist regime. Lungu should cancel this visit immidiately.

    • What a useless strategy. You cant fool people like this Kalaba and the gang. This trip has been disguised and packaged as to “sign a number of framework agreements”, really? We know this trip is related to attempts to pull out of the ICC due to the impending electoral petition case by HH.

    • LUNGU IS BUSY ALIGNING HIMSELF TO DICTATORS.THE MAN LOOKS TO HAVE SUCH INTENTIONS. ANYWAY I HOPE HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE IS DOING OTHERWISE HE SHOULD ASK HIMSELF A QUESTION WHERE IS CHILUBA IS

  1. SUDAN is a terrorist racist country taking advantage of a not informed leadership. What are you going to benefit from Sudan?

    • And one is wanted by the International Criminal Court for GENOCIDE.

      The other has rigged and stolen an election.

      Birds of a feather!

  2. Omar Albashir and Sudan makes sad reading everyday. This despot and dictator will tarnish the image of our country to say the least. This Chagwa has dictatorial tendencies developing in him. Why always associating with dictators? Mugabe, Kabila, Museveni, Bongo and now Bashir. What is wrong with our leader? Nothing good will come out of his visit to Sudan. Always on the move Kamwendo munjila. There is a saying that; ”show me five people who you spend most time with and I will tell you who you are”. Need I say more?

  3. The president group already made up their mind going to Sudan, the only thing we ask the president is, please give us a press conference when you get there.

    You will feel the presence of their religion when you get there, and I hope you will demonstrate the same.

    Please present Zambia as a Christian nation. Everything Jesus Christ did it was in the open and without fear of man.

    • @10 The Chosen, GOOD GUESS and that WILL NOT SURPRISE! I STRONGLY BELIEVE SOME ONE HAS BEEN BOUGHT over this ICC issue but he WILL EVENTUALLY PAY BACK in KIND!!

  4. Birds of the same feathers flock together. Lungu is associating with an ICC fugitive signifying that he has made up his mind to pull Zambia out of ICC. Having stolen the 2016 Elections and illegally and constitutionally usurped power, Lungu has decided to join the Rogue states like Sudan,Zimbabwe, Uganda etc. Lungu has made up his mind that it is better to not to Hear the dreadful Petition than to hear it. Lungu would rather be illegitimate as long as he is at the Helm. Hearing the Petition to Lungu is as good as committing suicide so he would rather remain an illegitimate President. Lungu will not listen to AU and SADC if they insist that the Petition should be heard. With Dictators like Mugabe,Dos Santos, Kabila etc in SADC, Lungu knows that he can count on these Dictators and he will…

  5. 15 scholarships for Zambians to study in Sudan! How desperate is our education system?
    Sudan under Omar Bashir banned English in all schools and colleges and introduced Arabic.
    These young Zambians will come back as Muslims probably radicalised, never to go to USA and will be Al kaidah or ISIL operatives backed by Somali muslin fundamentalist.
    Terrorism will have began in Zambia.

  6. And what relations do we have with South Sudan… Does ED2.0 see himself as peace broker? If so he should lose that page from KK’s book where he became better at international conflict than resolving his domestic problems.

  7. Lungu is racing for time. He knows that the 6 months after the UPND Petition was filed on the 19th of September 2016 is coming up in March 2017. After failing to get joy from Zambian Courts HH & GBM can legally take their case to ICC and that it is why Lungu is panicking and in a rush to pull Zambia out of the ICC. Unfortunately for Lungu, it takes a Year to effectively leave ICC after giving Notice. Furthermore, Lungu can still be indicted for crimes committed during his Rule well after he is out of power. Lungu knows that it is inevitable that he will be indicted to ICC for committing crimes against Zambians and hence he is now associating with ICC Fugitives like Omar Al Bashir of Sudan who is on two ICC arrest warrants and is wanted in the Hague, Netherlands for prosecution. Lungu is…

  8. Bwana Lungu you shall be judged by the friends you keep.Successful people tend to hang around with other successful folks and riff raffs also hang around other riff raffs.

  9. Perhaps its time to reshuffle some ministries – Foreign Affairs has been too long in Kalaba’s hands and the only thing he seems to know how to do is organise foreign trips for the President. Keep these people too long in the same post and they create tutembas. Move them around as you are doing civil servants.

  10. Why is this govt.hell bent on ” strengthening “ties with controversial regimes on the continent?This leader,isn’t he the same one late Mwanawasa had at one time denied entry into Zambia?First it was sarahawi/morocco mess,now it is befriending terrorist sponsors.Indeed this confirms this govt.is broke,so they really don’t mind now where the money comes from.I think it is ” sebana wikute ” kind of governance.

    • And Lungu wanted to host the coloniser King of Morocco. I suspect Zambia voted for Morocco’s return to the AU in defiance of Kaunda’s recognition of Western Sahara’s independence. Think you toothless Zambian president

  11. Sudan is a rogue nation which sponsor terror, huge human rights abuses and widespread discrimination against black Sudanese by the fake Arabs.

    Stay away from tainted Sudan bwana Lungu.

  12. There is solidarity among thieves and that is why Lungu is rushing to Sudan to get some tips on how to quickly Exit ICC and on how to survive as a Fugitive from ICC. Lungu by embracing an ICC Fugitive Lungu is hoping to get some Arab Money since he knows he wont get any financial help from the West as an illegitimate President and an ICC Indictee. Lungu has opened a new chapter and is now travelling on a destructive path.

  13. Of all countries visiting Sudan sure??That Sudanese President is a criminal on the wanted list. This is not good for Zambia.

  14. Why are we even surprised! Hasn’t Vodka shown us that he is more friendly with leaders who are very unpopular in the world like Mugabe and Mu7?

  15. To do what in sudan naimwe ba chakolwa?????? What are you scared of *****????? Your days in state house are numbered with the stolen vote. Wanya……………………..
