>Jammeh Negatives African Union Government

>The president of the republic of The Gambia, Dr. Alhagi Yahya A.J.J. 
>Jammeh, has reiterated his total opposition to the efforts of some African 
>leaders to form a continental government, describing it as a joke and an 
>insult to Africa.
>
>
>Speaking in a television interview over the weekend, President Jammeh said 
>that there could only be a union government when one is independent.

>"How many countries in Africa are really independent today? We cannot have 
>a United States of Africa when people cannot move from one country to the 
>other," he asserted, adding the policies of those calling for the 
>integration are all anti-African.
>
>According to President Jammeh, Africa's problem is not about creating a 
>union government but to bring about unity and solve the common problems 
>that constitute a real fix for every African. The problems, he went on, are 
>poverty, disease and violence.
>
>The Gambian leader noted that there could not be a union government when 
>some members of the African Union are members of the Arab League, a 
>situation which, he opined, might lead to problems when a union government 
>is put in place.
>
>"Why don't we put up our resources together to create a fund where we will 
>be free from the IMF and the World Bank so that we have an African Monetary 
>Fund where all African countries can benefit," Jammeh queried.
>
>Africa, President Jammeh added, needs real unity where the problem of one 
>country becomes the problem of all others. "Somebody wants to be an emperor 
>for Africa but one thing is very clear. Gambia will not be colonized 
>twice," he noted.
>
>He was however quick to add that such a government could never be brought 
>about by the heads but that it has to be engineered by the people at the 
>grassroots level.
>
>He noted that this is only possible if the people know each other, relate 
>and interact freely as Africans.
>
>Turning to the West, President Jammeh said instead of putting an end to 
>Africa's wars, the G8 saw a golden opportunity to fuel wars in Africa by 
>saying that African leaders must judge each other. "In their peer review 
>mechanism in the West, are there the same violations of human rights?" he 
>queried.
>
>The Gambian leader concluded by charging that Africans and Asians are being 
>killed on a daily basis and no investigation is carried out just because 
>they are black or brown and not Europeans.
