The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has expressed a strong protest in connection with the visit of the Pan-African Parliament delegation to the temporarily Russian-occupied territory of the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
The delegation of the Pan-African Parliament included representatives from Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi, Uganda, South Sudan, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Djibouti, Eswatini, Zambia, Somalia and Mozambique. “By participating in the Russian propaganda campaign, African parliamentarians showed gross disrespect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and disregarded the fundamental principles of international law,” the Foreign Ministry emphasized.
The Foreign Ministry noted that the statements they made during this visit about opposing colonialism are absurd.
In addition, the visit of the African delegation contradicts the spirit of friendship and mutual respect that characterize relations between the states of the African continent. It also seriously damages the reputation of the Pan-African Parliament, created in 2004 as one of the bodies of the African Union.
