rajan for your time. thank you. now, 50 years ago in 1973, most african countries decided to end their diplomatic relations with the israeli regime. now, mr. rajan, what was the main factor behind this solidarity move? thank you. thank you, it's not only the arab israeli war, i think the african diplomatic relation with israel finally broke when africa took a step against israel's support of the apparthide regime in in south africa obviously in link with the us, i think that was the main reason why africa is a whole took a stand to say that we're breaking off diplomatic relations with israel. i think that is more of a of of a reason for africa taking that stand. now let's bring in miss jamia gallant, we are witnessing the israeli apart regime committing unprecedented crimes against palestinians in the ghaza strip. now, unlike in 1973, we are yet to see african countries taking a united front in ending ties with the israeli regime. what could be the reason behind this? okay, um, well, i think the world has changed si

rajan, this for you, what?on this plan and uh the need for african countries to support the liberation of palestine? thank you for your question, we we are acutely aware of israel's plan to actually take over kenya and uganda, like they've done palestine, so we actually aware of this historical fact and appled by that there was that they even thought about that, but that's not surprising, i mean considering that kenya in particular. africa as a whole have been a victim of colonial and neocolonial rule, and that it is only in the interest of the colonialists to capture, colonize and occupy any part of the world for their own benefit, and i think in that sense, the african countries are very well aware, and that is where the solidarity am from, in the sense that we have been victims of colony. now we are acutely aware of what colonialism did to our people and the heroic struggle that the african people waged against colonialism to get independence and so we are completely in in solidarity with palestine because w

rajan.ion showed that if united african countries can successfully pile pressure on the israeli apaffer regime and eventually isolate the regime internationally. what's your opinion on this? so first things first, i think we first of all need our african body, the africa union to to to cancel this observer status of israel with the chair of the african union unfortunately granted israel without consultation and democratic consensus within the african union, so we need to get our house in order on the african continent and get the au, and the au has made a statement calling for. humanitarian support, but more so we need to put our footwear mouths and eject israel from eu and not allow it its observ status, we also need as as all african countries to make sure that we call not only for the ejection of israel from the african union, but we demand as african people that all african countries should cut diplomatic ties with the... upperside israel uh without any conditions whatsoever. well, there
