Internal Interference Deserves Outright Rejection

Date: 19/11/2022 | Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs (EN) | Read original version at source

The ever-worsening attempts of the U.S. to interfere in internal affairs are stirring the indignation of African countries.

In early November, just ahead of the presidential election in Equatorial Guinea, the spokesperson for the U.S. State Department called on its government to ensure a “free and impartial election” in compliance with the international law and the principles of the constitution.

Having participated in a mass gathering for election organized by the opposition party a few days ago, the U.S. diplomats in this country made an undisguised interference in the election of this country.

In this regard, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Equatorial Guinea said that it is clearly an interference into the internal affairs that the diplomats from other country have participated in a political gathering of the opposition party at a time when the political parties compete with each other to win the presidential election.

It is not the first time for the U.S. to arrogantly interfere in internal affairs of African countries under the pretext of “democracy” and “human rights”.

Over the recent years, whenever there were presidential elections in regional countries including Nigeria, Togo, and Côte d'Ivoire, the U.S. had the insolence to discredit election results, saying that the election was not held peacefully, and that democracy and transparency were not ensured.

Though chanting about “democracy” and “human rights”, the U.S. is hammering its values into other countries in disregard of the international order governing the relations based on the mutual respect, equality, and mutual benefits among states. This is the very gangster-like mode of politics of the U.S. which acquired an inveterate habit of making interference in internal affairs of other countries.

The U.S. act of interfering into the internal affairs can never be justified and it would face a stronger backlash from African countries aspiring to independence and justice.
