President Lungu calls for Africa to unite

Share

President Edgar Lungu has challenged Africans not to accept outsiders to solve their problems.President Lungu said Africans should rise and find ways of addressing the challenges the continent is facing.

He said it is for this reason that countries should ensure they have one common position when engaging other continents if they are to make an impact on the global stage.The head of state said this last evening during a state banquet that was hosted in his honor by his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame.

President Lungu said Africa should continue coming up with programmes that will allow the young people to be productive as they are key in changing the negative image that has continued to be perpetuated globally.And President Kagame said his country shares a good relationship with Zambia.President Kagame said there is need to work hard in fighting poverty and underdevelopment.

  1. Why dont you rather call on African Leaders to STOP CORRUPTION, TO ENSURE THERE IS GOOD GOVERNANCE, ENSURE THAT DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS OF CITIZENS ARE ADHERED TO AND THAT ELECTIONS ARE FREE AND FAIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why dont you say this rather – why because you cant because you don’t believe in any of these things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. YAA,THEY CANT EVEN MANAGE DIALOGUE AT HOME BUT THEY GO ON FOREIGN SOILS TO TALK OF UNITY?THE COUNTRY IS DIVIDED SIR CONCENTRATE ON UNITING YOUR COUNTRY SIR.

  3. You can’t rid yourself of cholera or build anything complex without Chinese input then call for Africans to solve their own problems really?

  4. “President Edgar Lungu has challenged Africans not to accept outsiders to solve their problems.President Lungu said Africans should rise and find ways of addressing the challenges the continent is facing.”

    Realy! this jonathan dud who has sold Zambia off to China says we should be independent!

  5. IF YOU LISTEN TO PROF. PAUL BUPE’S POEM WHICH HE RECITED DURING ONE OF THE GRADUATION CEREMONIES AT CBU (COPPERBELT UNIVERSITY) IN RECENT YEARS, AGO. THE WHOLE POEM TALKS ABOUT AFRICA SOLVING IT’S OWN PROBLEMS AND THE ANSWERS FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE ALL IN AFRICA, THE POEM STATES.
    I ALWAYS WISH THAT THERE COULD BE A PROJECT TO TRANSLATE THE POEM (WHICH IS IN BEMBA) INTO MAJOR WORLD LANGUAGES FOR ALL TO HEAR. PAUL BUPE IS A PRACTICAL GENIUS.

  6. UNITY , UNITY YOUR HOME , FAMILY, COMMUNITY, PROVINCE AND THE NATION AT LARGE. UNIT START WITH YOU, NOT THE PRESIDENT. IF PEOPLE ARE UNITED THEY ARE POWERFUL ,STRONG, AND THEY CAN MOVE AN MOUNTAIN. PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA LETS UNITY.

  7. Charity begins at home. U cannot advise African Countries to unite when back home in Zambia u are busy dividing Zambians along regional and tribal lines and stealing from the Garden. The AU has declared 2018 an Anti Corruption year. What is the Koswe Mumpoto President doing in Zambia about the AU Resolution? Jacob Zuma was sacked for Corruption and State Capture in South Africa. Lungu has been accused of massive Corruption and State Capture in his Corrupt govt in Zambia. What is Edgar Lungu doing about State Capture and Corruption in his govt? Lungu should walk the Talk and sack his Corrupt Ministers and Officials. The writing is on the Wall.

  8. Heck no bwana Lungu you’re wrong,very wrong .As for me i don’t wanna unite with criminal Nigerians, barbaric Congolese ,warmonger Somalis or any monkey eating West Africans.

  9. Good call but the iron is back home we miss a leader that can unite Zambians. Look at the appointments in the civil service, the parastatals, the diplomatic service and other top government jobs, for example.

  10. President Edgar Lungu has challenged Africans not to accept outsiders to solve their problems.President Lungu said Africans should rise and find ways of addressing the challenges the continent is facing.
