bowling if anyone dared to bully me while i was in primary school
i had the ability to convince them to go to the principal's office
and have themselves expelled and also kittens wait wait i'll explain
africa in the news i'm mekimushi and this is a show where we look at how western media covers
africa where we go through all the prejudice racism misinformation and this week that so
almost every western government bullying african leaders not to attend the african union meeting in
addis ababa we look at how western governments use the mainstream media to bully african countries
into submission so before we start please make sure to subscribe hit the notification bell
and like this video it really helps us a lot if you like this video because it shows youtube uh
this is a good video and it will recommend it to like-minded people like you so let's spread that
african content so this week uh ethiopia's prime minister uh abhi hamad thanked african leaders
uh for deciding to hold the 20th anniversary eu president's meeting in that addis ababa so why
is this important this was a result of brutal and secret campaigns by prominent western countries
pressuring african leaders to betray ethiopia by undermining the seat of the african union
just to get back at the recent victories ethiopia's prime minister ibrahimovic has
had over western new colonialization of africa he stood up to the west and he won
and now they're trying to get back a team anyway how so uh this is uh why this is troubling how
they use western media to bully african leaders not doing things that will benefit africa so
uh the goal of this diploma to secretly you know behind the doors threatened these african leaders
if not threatening maybe compel them to not meet in addis ababa why is this important because
the rest is hellbent to show that addis ababa is not safe we were there just last week and
the sababa is as safe as any other like city new york washington dc it's it's so safe but
these were some governments they're trying they're really really really trying to
pull push the first narrative that at the suburb is not safe so that they were
choosing the african presidents uh to make it so that uh uh the suburb is not safe so please don't
hold your annual meeting which has been held for almost 20 years right in addis ababa so the
excuses uh they wanted uh african leaders to give for not attending in abu sabha was uh kovid at
like they were like kobe 19 is uh like prominent in ethiopia fpp has a very low cover 19 uh uh case
base compared to countries like western countries like the uk which had the uh g20 meeting which had
the climate change meeting and the new york which at the u.n general meeting so that really doesn't
make sense also they were trying to say uh addis ababa is not secure as i said and the suburb is as
secure as any other western city that uh they'd like to show us even some some more compared to
all the shootings that happened in these western cities that they don't uh report all the time so
this is what uh the prime minister of ethiopia had to say about uh this so the prime minister in his
statement thanking the african leaders commitment and choice to convene the eu summit in ethiopia
said there was a push or as we talked about what push there was uh western diplomats were pushing
african countries not to not to not to go to addis ababa so let's uh get back to the statement there
was a push to change the location of the african union summit from addis ababa at this time when we
are seeking your fraternal partnership the action of those who have been pushing for a youth summit
to be held out of addis ababa setting covenant covenanting spread and security situation as
pretext as sudden ethiopia it saddened the whole of africa like how how can you bully people not to
meet at the house you know like the bullying has gone on too long and western media has been
the number one uh for like the number one uh perpetrator of this they spread false information
to scare people even they're scaring people who actually live in africa well those people
reporting most of them haven't even been to africa so the prime minister continues the implication of
hosting the summit in addis ababa is immense as it proves our peace and stability as well
as enabling us to reaffirm our stance to african agenda and practically demonstrate the good
situation of ethiopia to our african friends the premier stated the government has been undertaking
diplomatic efforts with african countries and the african union commission to hold the summit in the
capital city he added he finishes the statement and the statement is a bit long i will link it
in the description below so you can read exactly what was going on of course he couldn't directly
say what was going on that the west western diplomats the western leaders first were forcing
other african leaders not to go to addis ababa to attend their own african union meeting you know
in the diplomacy well you cannot say these things you have to say things in a you know smart hidden
way right but people with sources uh tell us that there was a huge pressure on african leaders some
being bribed others being like threatened that might lose some funding not to go to addis ababa
so uh just to conclude uh the continental body consists of five member states and only launched
in 2002 as the successor to the organization of africa unity that existed from 1968 to 1999. so
this organization is just 19 years old and it's young and also so just recently the election of
two commissioners in october 2021 the new commissioners is just now fully operational
so this means that the african union since it was inaugurated almost 20 years ago uh is actually now
starting to get its footing right so that's why i started this video with the cutest kittens you've
ever seen because the african union are just kittens uh i've got colleagues we talk about uh
the african union a lot who always say the african union is like a toothless lion right it's like
no no no the african union is not even a lion it's just a kitten right and it's finding its footsteps
in this precarious world that we live in right so let's discuss bullying uh by western media and
bullying by western governments towards african countries right so this has been happening and
as i said the african union is just a kitten uh you can't expect a kitten to fight for itself
right you can't expect this or this organization that just launched uh 20 like 19 years ago to have
the strength to fight the powers like the united states to fight the powers of the eu to fight like
other world powers like china and russia right so we have to give the african union a chance when it
comes to building up africa so uh with the like out of the 19 years i can say uh the good thing
that has come out from the african union is the african continental free trade agreement this is a
very monumental and important agreement that will open the markets to africa to all africans so that
africa does not depend on outside trade but trades within itself uh this is going to be the largest
trade organization trade pact trade agreement in the world uh beating uh like uh like the others so
it's really important what african union is doing it's still young it's still a kitten
give it a chance right uh i'm sure in the next 20 years we will be seeing something very different
from the african union right so before you start uh telling uh telling people that african union
does nothing just uh check the history and see how these things work right uh the europeans
and uh and the americans killed them killed each other in wars bloody was like for centuries uh
africa is a very young continent when it comes to like a modern democracy
and we're just finding our foothold so this will really allow us to start uh with a very solid
foundation as a foundation better than what europe had a foundation better than what america had
and so like when it comes to bowling uh it's not about size uh you can be a big guy and
and bully somebody who's small it's not about sex it's about mentality and uh as i said uh in the
beginning of this video uh like when i was small uh like when i was in primary school i was short i
was a short plum kid right uh i was a late bloomer and still i was never bullied i was one of those
kids who would actually convince the person who was to bully me to turn themselves in uh so africa
before it grows up like me i grew up to be six three a monster right whoever knew that
small kid will grow up to be a giant right so before africa has a chance to grow up
uh like me right it's still a kitten as i said it's still that kid give it a chance right and
just because africa right now the african union is small is growing it doesn't mean
it can be bullied around or pushed around so the message of the day is uh stop the bullying
of africa stop the bullying of african leaders let africa determine its own destiny let africa make
its own decision right and uh with the presidents and leaders like uh prime minister like ibi hamad
this is the new generation that's showing uh the west that uh you cannot intimidate us you cannot
bully us uh if you want to try uh invaders you can try but uh uh history uh has a precedent over that
