Human rights kaili.
We need to see action and not words. We are held to a high standard when it comes to elections. It seems it is do as I say and not as I do. We also want to hear upnd diasporans in America condemning this as they condemn us.
@KZ in America and in European countries there is law and order. Culprits are brought to books
Unlike in Zambia where your ex boss is a convict/thief. His minions have become billionaires through corruption. Two innocent people were executed where are the suspects.
The gassing incident where are the suspects.
You ape man fired a gun in public with the intent of killing, if this ought to happen in USA you would be facing 20 years in prison
You bloody thick prick
Kekekekekekekeke! This is not where the story is. We dont want comments from embassies. We need a comment from our own State House. It should condemn Trump for subversion. For starting an uprising against the people’s representatives. It should tell him how shameful it is for the country that boasts of being number 1 in democracy to desecrate the temple of democracy itself-congress! Lungu must blast Trump for making America ungreat. On top of it all Lungu must impose sanctions on America.
Lungu must go onto say Zambia will “watch closely” and not hesitate to impose sanctions on those interfering in US elections or related violence,
Scouser – I dont even know why you tolerate this UK based impostor who knows too well about face recognition technology but playing dumb for the purposes of playing k.Zulu living in Zambia when he is locked down in the UK using his parents internet.
Scouser it is Friday why are you upset? Life must be hard uko ku diaspora. Bad day ukushinda utunkonte? The truth hurts. Just respond to my points maturely. Ignorant people rush to throw insults.
As for that scumbag tarino, I won’t even waste my time respond to it.
What?? They did that in Lusaka too?
Who is the Lusaka Province minister? Where was Kaizer Zulu?
Criminals will be brought to book!!?? What if the leader of those criminals is actually your boss and commander in chief – Trump?

Yes first correct your situation in your own country then you can come for a lecture on democracy from Africa
Please, deal with those as Africa deals with it’s own problems
The ghosts of their own democracy are after them
American institutions of governance hv risen to the challenge of checking Donald Trump’s excesses. They hv never at any time looked like caving in to extremists. Trump’s goons hv been rounded up and a number are in custody. Who’s in custody from the shooting to death of Joseph Kaunda and Nsama Nsama?
The difference here is that the ones condemning stupidity are Trump(et)’s appointees. They are calling a spade a spade, they are not like bamushanina bwali where even a wrong is right for the sake of crumbs falling from the table.
