00:00the moment of truth it is here we're not going to ask for a favor so we were not on a begging
00:06mission africa is should never be seen as a continent that needs generosity we want to be
00:16treated as equals african leaders have to face their fears once for all by addressing the western
00:23which was presented in couple of countries over there and the president of republic of south
00:29africa had a nail it when you get the courage to face about how they've been fooling africans with
00:36all this summit time to time yet there is no result the president of republic of south africa
00:42president is really had to expose the mafia of the western guys you are not going to believe this but
00:48i'm inviting you first to have a listen to what president ramaphosa had said before we get to
00:54continue with more analysis beggars that we are being dealt with out of generosity
01:03i think it's important in the new era that the world is in now that there should be
01:11a good measure of equality among sovereign nations you know recently seven african countries
01:19uh decided to go to go and put a call for peace to ukraine and to russia and we raised a number of issues
01:33to us this is very important our sovereignty is one of the things that we hold on dearly to
01:42we were clear that we are not going there as beggars we are not going to ask for a favor to both ukraine and
01:50russia so we were not on a begging mission even as we are in great need as a continent and all that that
02:01should go to demonstrate that africa is should never be seen as a continent that needs generosity we want to
02:12be treated as equals even in the multilateral institutions we want to be treated as equals
02:21and if our equity is at a low ebb there must be ways in which that can be addressed wanted to make that
02:29point so that it should be understood where africa has evolved up to we want to be key players on the
02:38world stage president macron want us to address another issue which to us is a bit of a negative
02:47uh you will have heard president cc talking about the hundred billion that was promised in paris
02:59president sasungueso yesterday as well also spoke about it at the dinner now there is that issue that
03:09a number of the commitments that have been made have not really been fully lived up to but there have
03:17been times when we felt like we were beggars i played a key role as chair of the african union during
03:26the covet period we felt like we were beggars when it came to vaccines availability when we felt we needed
03:35access to vaccines and the northern hemisphere countries had bought all the vaccines in the world
03:44and they were hogging them and they didn't want to release them at the time when we needed them most
03:52and we felt like we were begging and at times it felt like they would just be droppings from the table
04:01that yes we will give you that and that and let me tell you something that that's generated a lot of
04:08resentment we we resented that and it got worse when we said we want to manufacture our own vaccines and
04:20when we went to the wto there was a lot of resistance enormous resistance and we kept saying what is more
04:31important life or profits by your big pharmaceutical companies and that too i must tell you now generated and
04:42deepened that disappointment and resentment on our part because we felt like life in the northern hemisphere
04:51is much more important than life in the global south and these are issues that need to be addressed and
05:00i'm glad that we are all seated here like this because we've got to get to the heart of these matters and
05:07address them you know this kind of speech it is the kind of the speech that africans need in general when
05:15we get to see our african leaders having this kind of courage to speak in behalf of africans this is
05:22kind of the speech that can rejoice the heart of africans this is kind of the spirit africans people need
05:28at the moment especially when it comes towards the western with their mafias i'm so proud to see
05:35how african leaders are now understanding what we've been saying time to time in our videos and what you
05:42guys have been engaging through the comment your message goes out there and african leaders they get
05:48to listen to it his needs this is very interesting to hear when president ramaphosa sitting in front of
05:55emmanuel macron who's the president of france and the chancellor of germany they get to listen to this
06:01kind of message finally africa continent is awake finally african leaders can now start speaking
06:09the same language as all africans finally our forefathers who had fought so hard for the
06:16independence of the african continent can now start rejoicing knowing that what they had fought for
06:24it is about to be realized it is about to be realized by this new generation of africans
06:38you
