Citizen Nkululeko Sibanda zw(@DrNkuSibanda):What could Ukraine have done to prevent Russian aggression. Should Ukraine be expected to have abandoned its freedoms of choice, assembly, associated and it's sovereignty? Are sovereign rights tradable? If so why is the AU not trading for money to give to her citizens

The @_AfricanUnion makes us the laughing stock of the world when it issues a statement with Russia that : “8. The two sides call for strict adherence to international law and the UN Charter in its entirety as the bedrock of international relations to maintain peace, resolve disputes peacefully and uphold sovereign equality.” What part of international law has been respected by Russia’s invasion and attempted annexure of entire swathes of Ukraine? The African Union is doing all Africans a disservice by this ridiculous statement and its policy of studiously ignoring Russia’s grotesque acts in Ukraine.
