EFF CALLS FOR THE DISMISSAL OF THE AFRICAN UNION COMMISSION CHAIRPERSON
Wednesday, 28 July 2021
The EFF rejects the African Union Commission decision to grant the racist Zionist apartheid state of Israel observer status in the African Union. The decision is shameful and undermines the struggle against an assault on Palestinians human rights supported and sustained by Western Imperialist regimes.
The decision to grant Israel observer status makes the AU complicit in the continuing killings of Palestinians and goes against AU's commitment to principles of self-determination and decolonization. The solidarity for freedom of oppressed people for Africa should be unconditional, and Africans, guided by the spirit of the founders of the African Union, should always side with the oppressed people.
The AU should lead by example and call for the continent to isolate and boycott Israel and not rest until the people of Palestine are free. Instead of treating murders with civility and dignity while Palestinians continue to suffer unimaginable dehumanization. The EFF calls for the immediate removal of all officials who granted Israel the observer status.
The provocative and unilateral decision of the insubordinate Chairperson of the African Union Commission to invite and accept the diplomatic credentials of apartheid Israel representatives into the fold of the African Union observer status community is misconduct worth AU sanctions against its own employee.
