Chavez urges Africa to unite against US
By Daniel Flynn
2 hours, 17 minutes ago
BANJUL (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called on Africa on Saturday to forge closer ties with Latin America to combat what he called a threat of U.S. hegemony.
Chavez, whose repeated criticism of America has raised hackles in Washington, called on an African Union summit to cooperate with Latin America in everything from oil production to university education to counter "colonial" meddling in developing nations.
Citing the example of Venezuela and Bolivia, he urged Africa to seize greater control of its energy resources. He described the low royalty payments made by some foreign oil companies as "robbery."
"We should march together, Africa and Latin America, brother continents with the same roots ... Only together can we change the direction of the world," he told the opening day of the AU summit, to applause.

Chavez is a people hater, period. What is it going to take before the entire world turns on us? We need to get rid of the United Nations, and go back way in time, before Politically Correct became so popular. It is wrecking America.
HOW OFTEN THEY FORGET. WE DONT NEED COUNTRIES LIKE THIS, BUT THEY SURE NEED US! |
