Zambians, don’t be fooled. What US Ambassador said yesterday is the same thing they said and did to KK, FTJ, Levy, Sata, ECL, and now HH- Nkonkomalimba Kapumpe

Go Sort Epstein Files and the Iraq War
Didn’t the same USA portray PF ministers as the most corrupt ever? Today they are telling the truth? Ba Tonse and Mundubile, today you stand with them? Did you not chase the US ambassador? So we should bring back the worst? Let’s be patriotic citizens — we all know the issue is China.
Almost every president — from Kenneth Kaunda, FTJ Chiluba, Levy Mwanawasa, Rupiah Banda, to Hakainde Hichilema — the USA has always eventually disagreed with them. I even warned UPND and HH immediately he entered office not to get close to America; they are dangerous. Many UPND members opposed me here, but my exact words to them were: “One day, it will be me who comes to HH’s defence.”
Ladies and gentlemen, when I was not supporting PF and the USA attacked ECL, I stood with ECL. It was the same stance I took when they turned against FTJ — I was young but busy defending FTJ. And it’s the stance I take today to stand by HH, knowing these USA crooks and what they are up to. And always manuputing African, today look at congo, Libya, Zimbabwe etc.
“When a white man greets you, count your fingers” — Mwansa Kapwepwe
“The day you see them praising me, know I have betrayed you” — KK and Chiluba, almost the same words.
Even they have problems. Their president is accused of sleeping with kids and sexual assault. Black people are a minority in the country but a majority in prison. The Iraq war which the did with no international support .Even HIV — it’s their manufacturing industries producing and selling meds. Let’s not be cheated into thinking it’s all goodwill. Surely, you can’t compare HH to Trump in terms of behavior; even have problem with HH it’s not trump level of sleeping with sex workers and suspected childre …they have more problems there.
When a Zambian president gets into office, they shower him with praise, trying to control him with praise and good international media support. But something always happens. The president settles and starts acting in ways not in their best interests. That is when they come out saying, “This is the worst we have seen.”
Today HH has become the worst president to them because he has failed to sign the health agreement, which includes mineral rights. Though the ambassador rubbished such a suggestion, it’s not Zambia who brought up this story — it’s the Americans. Even yesterday it was in the news in the USA. So now he is the devil to them? If he had signed, by now the USA would be saying he is the best president. My point: it has nothing to do with all the wrongs he pointed out. All countries have challenges, and it is citizens who should sort them out, not the USA.
Zambians, don’t be fooled. What he said yesterday is the same thing they said and did to KK, FTJ, Levy, Sata, ECL, and now HH. The formula is to scream corruption and try to change a president who is not agreeing with their interests. Wake up this a China issue .

Very much on point, they are dangerous, the issue is China. They bring up Sino metals to hit at China. The deal they are trying to secure is to see how to exclude China. Once you let them in, later you say go, they come back bombing. China does not bomb.
How do you trust people who kidnapped other Presidents in a sovereign nations while failing to arrest criminals and mass murderers who lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. They can’t answer why these guys are still walking about are they. We think, don’t insult us, we can see what and who you are.
They are unrealiable and dangerous. You can not trust their word or partnership. Good riddance.
The out-going USA Ambassador said the truth. We don’t need to justify everything. No wonder development in Zambia is far fetched. Let us evaluate whatever he said and make some amendments. This notion of praise-singers will never lead this nation to progress and development. Things are not ok in Zambia.
Bwalya Kunda, I agree with you 100%. The statement by the outgoing US envoy is on point and I salute him.
They stopped and took their aid company and Zambia was getting ready to sort it’s medical or health reliance on the USA. He thinks Zambians stupid because they are black. He wants to be receiving high end precious minerals for free without working for them. The days the world used to believe was the greatest are long gone. You can just see it in how they started a stupid war in Iran. Look at how they dealt with COVID especially under their current incorrect leader. America doesn’t like strong and capable leaders. Good riddance your term has come to an end.
Your comments are a typical example of praise singing. Every child is sitting on a desk, every project you left at even zero percent is complete your debt you defaulted is sorted, the mines you closed are open plus new ones, roads are being expanded, employment levels is high now both in private sector and govt but all this you cant see? But PF mismanagement was what was great? Awe sure!!
USA leave Zambia alone. We don’t need you.
