was described as a political contestation, the western was particularly kept a blind eye to some of the west activities of individuals. the gnostic on politics . if one is permitted, one will remember in the island 1960 is of individuals such as moist. there's so many ways recorded 12, runaway from the democratic republic of congo with 800 on 96 flags of war, declined and found himself in europe on the leave to happily thereafter. and of course later died in the julia and he was not science just got done, got was not function. one really remember the clip, the crap. they put a c o mobile to assess a sickle was been pro list and nobody remembers a day when will board to assess the sickle was functions. one will remembers job bed the book costs of this central african republic. oh, we know was one of the,

was the state does the and who in beds on the funds and he was never functioned. one will remember many individuals on many countries because in those days been a good political boy from western perspective. meant that you agree, the bidding of the west of cos when doc chang in the 810 in the 198-919-0190. things took a totally different perspective on the deployment select. the deployment of sanction stopped to do apply. uh, another product, but even before we go there, many of the kind of clips to correct we're, you know, on who we, can they get their money in your, the susan on became the same as, or is it in simmons, phone number,

the accounts it became the home of ill gotten the wealth or money that wasn't looted from african countries that came on the island on many of these. and we know that during that video or these individuals, why using the office for purposes of acquiring public wealth. let's move to the current situation with sanctions. i've now become a to and europe and america use this function very selectively when they want to achieve a particular political objective on one can give a number of examples. robot who got b. as in bob, we was that dialing of the west side to donnelly, because he did not into fia with the land that was occupied by the wide families. and in the 1st 10 years,

i remember the robot mcgarvey been given on the award as one of the lead does progressive leaders in the continental wasik when rolled back. and we'll go back to that as be sure that the dividends of independence demanded. the blonde must be re distribute the worst done was to impose sanctions on robot mcgarvey and his comrades in arms on the high goodman. at that time was that the room god bears. jim was pop up creating the pomp of rating human rights abuses neither here nor there. debatable. they really issue was that the freedom was fought for the purpose of re distribute to england. and why was this been not the focus on the thought on? the question was for papa's i use using functions because when he was sung,

send an entire country on the people it's economy. the net effect is that to affect everybody. as the saying goes, you use a hama to break on neck, and that is what functions do. then that effect is the eddings black does on affects everybody else because the lead as themselves, of a way of keeping themselves api. and they keep themselves happy and rich under mary, and somehow there is also no shortage of songs and bust. those who are capable of suck, i'm navigating the song ships. but the impact on the corner me is, is the rest paid to and this is something that has been use. we know, for example, in the, in bob, one case, the west on europe, the pin countries on the americans of succeeded in functioning zimbabwe with the concept players. they cannot participate in the international economic katarina. and we have seen that the biggest thing in terms isn't barbara example is one that

we want to keep on focusing on. because we have seen the impact on visiting by when parents, we have seen how one of the strongest cartons is enough because there's and bob went to a, went down in 2 billions until very recently. now they've decided that the currency on gold underscore the sick. but even then, the public confidence has been so a road that, that you still find the united states dollars as the car is saved, that is in use in that economy. which in did legitimize this? the question was our assumptions about why does the west use fluids which i devastating to the population we have seen in there is in process on the question,

a very good deal. for example, one, people have different views about as you be to do different societies of different ways of dealing with it. and my view and the view of others as is that called through the domain nation, should not be imposed upon us within countries that the country is doing what they want, but don't use it as a means of impacting on the economies of the country. we've seen that you, brandon's been told that if you do not have legislation that supports our perspective as 0 fund a medical and eligibility q, then we are going to sanction you. and then bid room or uganda has been removed from the african growth opportunity by the united states of america. we see they've gotten and also been dealt with in a similar way. what one is to say is that there is no one size fits all in all these things on. every country should be given the opportunity of doing what is

called community acceptable and not to you. sanctions as a tool which is designed to achieve short term and long term political interest. another use that function is now been deployed to achieve is to impose relationship or not. so we saw this in the early days in the, in, in, on going up, for example, when the administration of august, you know, net there was going see that to be communist. and then there was a very active, a support for your nose model, halo sabine b was being supported by the western world. on the opposite side regime in south africa, falls offices of eliminating and removing the net to administration and imposing on administration by will need. so the sanctions have become a tool which is used selectively on the creatively by western countries to

undermine african political digits in there isn't fast. we have seen when there was, there is wherever illusions in this i had the and region in the book enough for us . so in this, in modeling, in a corner cream, it costs at the behest of the european union. and initially, at the behest of the united states of america, we'd very quickly withdrew to impose sanctions functions on these. and the whole idea in these specifically was to bring back the administration of a head of state who we know was often at the behest the funds. so sung sions. i've also been used to create an environment where there is a law called this content. because when you assign some of the country, a number of things happen. number one, essential commodities become expensive. number 2,

this content is created. number 3, become what it is, becomes gus. because you are telling the world you should not trade with this particular country. and the idea is that one's in tunnel, this content has been generated, then it will lead to area of allusion and that river lucian will propose into power people and individuals who will do the bidding of the countries that are involved in song ship. it is never lost on me that when song, since i've been deployed on elections are taking place these of resolve us, particularly from the west and was in data in union, then come on a that gave a clean bill of health to their lips and or they say that they left and has not been conducted in a proper manner, and then they use that to justify the extension of this function. and

another very debilitating impact of sanctions in the world is the country that the sanction is excluded from the international market. and when you are excluded from the international market, it means that you have good news on the commodities cannot be traded. we have seen that, for example, instead there is generally all when they came up with this idea or of block diamonds. and when he was talking fox, blah, diamonds instead, are they all? while you talk about the brand black down ones incentive last week and republic or black diamonds in the democratic republic of bundle, you are telling the world going to buy these commodity. and therefore, you undermine the economies of these countries in all as separate as. and we have seen that whenever the assumptions of the car just offers, whenever the song sins, health suffers. whenever the sanctions,

everything suffers. i'll give the example of so done, which is now in, on the brink of a civil war for a long time under the administration of old matters. but sure, the suit and these was on the very end, these functions from the united states of america and by extension of europe. and then that effect is the sudanese economy was laboring in the mind that could not satisfy the population on some of the things the late that the generate that in this conflict can then be seen to have a monday that from the sanctioned resume. it is also instructive to note that whenever the functions event, it leads to the confidence it is never lost on me, that in countries which are on the assumptions, you will always find the inside guns who are then given the well we've all spite this sanctioning country is to undermine the concrete, the,

on the function. it is in this regard that we must understand the ongoing functions in central african republic. the ongoing functions in the book, you know, for so the ongoing sanctions in these are the ongoing functions in jeanette can agree on of costs, the ongoing functions to us stop and extend it again a, b, so on the democratic republic of congo. so the, in a not show one, see the functions on not in did design to create a world which is devoid of criminals or to create a world where that is freedom. but assumptions have become a political tool which is used to whip countries in line. you cannot mentally, and particularly politically so that they move like ship in the direction which is recommended and approved by the sanctioning powers nicely to the detriment of the

population. the time is now for the wild and multilateral institutions to us with a uni luck for functions which do not have a badge of approval or do not have the in pretty much of the united nation is to be justified adults. and they also look on the context, i think that the time has come for the african union. 3, know some of these functions, particularly if they are not approved by the african union. and if they are not in the best interest of the entire continent, functions with, which is news selectively on to the detriment of african countries on the bit different countries in the last stop says we have this break. let me use this lady. what are some tennis on which means thank you for listening. let's come back again. you know, show to watch the show

. they just don't you have to safe house because of the and engagement. because the trail when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground the.
