The President of Zimbabwe will become chairman of the AU. This is a pivotal development, because it demonstrates that African nations are willing to confront the West. Robert Mugabe who served as prime minister from 1980 to 1987 and then president from 1987 ever since is seen as a liberation hero. As a rebel leader he fought the white minority ruled regime in Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe also continued liberation struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Since 2003, the West has sanctioned Zimbabwe on the grounds of electoral fraud and human rights abuses. The real motive behind this was that Robert Mugabe refused to follow Western imperial agendas in Southern Africa. This is a wonderful news and victory to anyone seeking to break the chains of Western domination.
