South Africa's ANC secretary-general questions western accountability in Iraq, Afghanistan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2023
- The secretary-general of South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC), Fikile Mbalula, has raised serious concerns about the double standards of western nations' policies, particularly regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His comments were made amid discussions of a possible visit by Russia's President Vladimir Putin, who is under investigation by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes.
Mbalula criticised the western countries for their role in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, stating that their actions resulted in the loss of over a million lives, yet accountability has been glaringly absent.
Despite the controversy surrounding Putin, Mbalula confirmed that the ANC would welcome the Russian president.

@@stephanbransenwell, they started on the 9/11 attacks. Why will you blame us when we were sleeping peacefully, drinking hot coffee then suddenly our homeland has been underattack by wannabe thugs. We were only fighting for our freedom so no one will ever experience the thing we lost that day.
Toni Blair even confessed and "apologised" public for that. If that is not a confession....

I love how African leaders speaks straight FACTS !!
I agree with Fikile on the Iraqi war crimes but he is in no position to hold the moraĺ high ground, even on Putin . We still need to see justice served here in South Africa for Anc corruption, state capture , and political crimes
Previously the world turned against the apatheid government with severe sanctions because of their racist policies. Imagine if the world turned a blind eye because some other governments in the past were also responsible for racist policies? Putin is responsible for bombing schools, shopping malls and hospitals, the displacement of millions, and murder of hundreds of thousands. I'm disappointed, as a South African, in the SA government's support of the criminals in the Kremlin for their own self interest pretending it's because they care about Iraq and Afghanistan

This goes back to what Nelson Mandela said a long time ago, "One of the mistakes that these so-called analysts make is to think that their enemies should be our enemies..."
Well said!
I was just watching that same video a few days ago, that town hall meeting in the US, with Ted Coppel of ABC. Great man Mandiba was.
Mandela said many great things 😊 “It is up to you, to make a better world for all who live in it”. I believe this Secretary General brought up an amazing point & I do think the journalist was somewhat moved by it as he took his glasses off & listened

Don't ask an African a question if you're not ready to hear facts!!!
Sorry but last time I checked, and I could be wrong here but America wasn't abducting Iraq's native population and sending them back to America like how Russia is stealing Ukrainian children and giving them to Russian families.
America didn't preform mass bombing of civilian areas and residential complexes like how Russia target restaurants and apartments in Ukraine.
America didn't target civilian infrastructure like how Russia blew up Ukrainian energy infrastructure just before winter in the hopes of freezing them out.
America doesn't use phosperous shells while the Russians openly use them, and America didn't cause mass destruction by blowing up dams like the Russian's have done.
just some facts but what do I know I'm just from a country that's never invaded any other country.
@@Grimjow88you are funny😂😂😂 Amerika killd one Million Iraki Children even bevor the War with the Embargo again Irak .Iraki Children that can be a live now die becouse no Medizin no incubator no Milk and so on .And than a sencelles War with no reason .And i think you forget American Warcrimes like Abugrib ,Guntanamo, Helikopter schotting on Civilians and so on .😂😂 You are funny.

Because Russia have their own oil unlike you money minded oil thieves. Oh and btw, where are the Weapons Of Mass Destruction??! Oh sorry, it was just an excuse to capture thr oil from Iraq.
@@Grimjow88 Do you have any substantial proof that Russia is stealing Ukrainian children or Russia is blowing up dams?
I am pretty sure you are getting your information from one of the protagonists and you haven't listened one bit to the arguments of the other party.
If I am right you may end up with bias news.
Do you remember in 2003 Secretary of State Colin Powell at the UN security council laying out US evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, which turned out not to exist (This is public knowledge). That was one of main reason of 2003 Iraqi war.
Also since you mentioned not being "from a country that's never invaded any other country" may I ask where are you from?
@@Grimjow88 I'm asking for evidence, not some lies spewed out by the American media

🇺🇸 Educating about intentional war crimes (Russia).
The Soviet-Afghan conflict saw the Soviet Union clash with Afghans, resulting in Afghan casualties. The USA covertly aided Afghans with weapons, leading to their victory and contributing to the Soviet Union's downfall. In the Afghanistan war, the USA established democracy, but Russia's support for the Taliban undermined progress. In Iraq, the USA acted against claims of nuclear weapons, toppling the government. While some perceive USA drone actions as war crimes, they differ from deliberate acts like kidnappings, rape, or targeting civilians. Accidental civilian casualties from drone strikes are distinct from intentional atrocities by other parties.
The United States has acknowledged incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan that have raised concerns about potential war crimes. Some of these incidents include:
1. Abu Ghraib Prison Abuse: In Iraq, the mistreatment and abuse of detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison by U.S. military personnel came to light. This involved physical abuse, sexual humiliation, and other forms of mistreatment, which were widely condemned as violations of international law and human rights.
2. Civilian Casualties: There have been cases of civilian casualties caused by U.S. military actions in both Iraq and Afghanistan. These incidents have led to allegations of potential violations of the laws of war and rules of engagement.
3. Airstrikes: There have been instances of U.S. airstrikes causing civilian casualties, including accidental targeting of non-combatants. While the U.S. military often strives to minimize civilian harm, such incidents have led to questions about adherence to the principle of proportionality.
4. Torture and Detainee Treatment: Apart from Abu Ghraib, there have been allegations of torture and mistreatment of detainees held by the U.S. military and intelligence agencies in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
It’s important to note that the U.S. government and military have taken steps to address and investigate these incidents, including holding individuals accountable and implementing policy changes. However, there remains ongoing debate and criticism over whether these actions constitute war crimes or violations of international law. The interpretation of these incidents often varies based on perspectives and legal analysis.
There have been various allegations and accusations of war crimes committed by the Russian government under President Vladimir Putin’s leadership. Some of the notable incidents include:
1. Conflict in Chechnya: During the Chechen wars in the 1990s and early 2000s, there were reports of widespread human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings, torture, and enforced disappearances of civilians.
2. Annexation of Crimea: Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 was widely condemned by the international community. Many countries and organizations consider this annexation a violation of international law, as it involved the use of military force to seize a territory from a sovereign nation.
3. Conflict in Eastern Ukraine: Russia has been accused of supporting separatist groups in eastern Ukraine and providing them with weapons and military assistance. This has resulted in a conflict that has led to civilian casualties and displacement of populations.
4. Airstrikes in Syria: Russia has conducted airstrikes in Syria in support of the Assad regime. These airstrikes have been criticized for causing civilian casualties and targeting civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and schools.
5. Poisonings and Assassinations: There have been allegations of Russian involvement in the poisoning and assassination of political opponents and journalists both within Russia and abroad. Notable cases include the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in the UK and the killing of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov.
It’s important to note that these allegations have been the subject of international scrutiny, investigations, and debates. The Russian government often denies accusations of war crimes and human rights abuses, and the issue remains complex and contentious in the international arena.
Africa land of war criminals.

@Court K anytime he is seen on tv, walking around freely (instead of sitting his sorry..... in a cell), he is been paraded.
The whole world needs to understand that they're not dealing with their grandfather's Africa anymore. The world is dealing with the new Africa, a much stronger Africa 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Well they won't want anymore aid then will they 🤔
Aid is part of the problem… you can keep it.
91% of the world's HIV-positive children live in Africa. Suggests otherwise

Do as we say, but not as we do. Hypocrisy at it's finest
From Bosnia am support. South Afrika.Sey is tri.Afganistan,Iraq,Libya and other. Who arrested President Amerika. Novbody.
Shame talk of this.
U just destroyed the hypocrisy of the west
That journalist is just a journalist asking a fair question. You cannot blame him for all the crimes ever committed by everyone in Britain. But then in Africa you surely don't really understand the concept of "freedom of press".
@@martinmcnulty8155 no I don't understand this kind of freedom of speech cuz when it comes to zoinest war crime they never then it becomes antisemitic
@@myhammadsalman8863 No link whatsoever with what you write. "Freedom of press" look it up.
@@martinmcnulty8155 same typical European thinking Ur problem is not my problem but my problem is Ur problem
Fair questions? My *ss, you will never see this so called reporter asking these kind of questions to any western leader.
I mean will he ask macron to arrest Blair and bush?
In a few decades Africa will lead the world

@@Gantali9305lol u would be shocked how many Britons support Russia and Putin, u know, the ones who are not easily swayed by the lies of the BBC, and remember how the west reneged on Minsk 1 and 2 accords?
I salute the South African leader, these reporters should understand that the world is changing....
Yes the world is changing. In the past no one would even ask if they would arrest a visiting leader that has started unjust wars. More and more the world is finding these barbaric invasions unacceptable. Putin miscalculated the reaction of the civilized world which is why a war that he thought would take week to win is still going on more than a year later.
Changing the topic. Evading the answer. Whataboutism. Dishonest or logically handicapped, you decide.
Really??
@@igorjee cry with your daddy
@@igorjeemoron bot.
If this is the type of leaders in South Africa then I am with South Africa all the way.
Well said that man. I'm British, and agree that for the UK and USA to point fingers at others accusing them of war crimes is highly hypocritical.
And highly criminal.
@@clemalford9768 Yes. If you look at most countries they either have committed crimes, or even are being run like a criminal organisation nowadays. The public are treated like fools that are there to be controlled and milked dry.
That's what BBC, CNN and other western MSM love doing is to criticise and "talked down" and telll others how to behave. It is typical "Colonial mentality" by such hypocrite.
Do you think that you'd like Putin to be welcomed in South Africa? The West most certainly has a tarnished past and list of war crimes. However, do you think China and Russia would be a better superpower with less atrocities and more worldwide freedom and democracy? I think not. I think despite it's blemishes the West still has good, democratic and generally moralistic intentions and the alternative is hell.
@@Michael-nu6fb Tell that to Julian Assange. Bit late for Nelson Mandela. He had to wait in jail for 27 years!
They ALWAYS try to make it look like African leaders aren't paying attention to facts or keeping up. I absolutely love this. You can feel the "oh shit" in his silence
That's why African countries will never develope because the leaders behaving like 🤡

Its more that society isnt keeping up becsude african leaders are not any better than any leaders and they just target specific facts that keeps any spotlight off of their own bad behaviour. As long as they keep any heat off of themselves and are busy pointing the finger at others no one is watching what they are doing. All of these leaders need to be held to account for bad behaviour, not just some of them because none of them are better than each other. You didnt see africans running in to save anyone in iraq so they dont really have a position to judge anyone because they did nothing but judge after the fact and doing nothing makes them as complicit
That shut him up. Respect to south Africa
Well said , hope to be a reminder for those who keep forgetting
As a white British man this South African gentleman put this arrogant and ignorant man in his place.
hyi you Britishers.
my Grandfather was a chair during your colonial period.
wherever his master goes, he will follow and become his chair , he will seat on his shoulder .
2rd generation pass by till today it boils my blood ...

@@Mr66Danzo You think that was bad my great, great, great, great grandfather was captured by the Barbary Pirates and they used him as a rowing boat. He escaped when he had many of their leaders on board and he overturned himself, drowning all those on board. Smart man. We still have his oars hanging from the wall.

Absolutely 100% correct one rule for the Weston leaders and another for the others
