American President Donald Trump addressing a full UN General Assembly

Paul Nyathi|During the 74th session of the UN general assembly fact is that not only Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa spoke to empty seats, though he appeared to have the most empty seats, almost all African Presidents were ignored at the time they presented their speeches. Very few of which were occupied by their representatives.

President Mnangagwa addressing an empty UN General Assembly

This pattern repeated itself every time an African president gave a speech. What message should Africans take from this?

A South African based Doctor and international researcher Doc. Combs Muchindu wondered why we keep on going to the UN summit in New york when all potential donors and donor community long lost our trust due to corruption, suffocation of human rights and misuse of government resources.

Honestly how do you expect representatives and members of IMF and the world Bank to sit back and listen for example to president Emmerson Mnangagwa when they know how corrupt him and his leaders are.

Mnangagwa and his ZANU PF leaders are the wrong people to continue representing Zimbabwe at such a high profile lnternational meeting.Their hands and minds are taken by the world to be filthy and dirty.

While Zimbabweans go through the snubbing of Mnangagwa, Zambians and the rest of Africa also mourn their leaders’ snub.
