The meeting of the African Studies Department at the Institute for Political and International Studies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was held with the speech of Kémi Séba, an African anti-Zionist activist, with the presence of a group of senior experts, on December 4, 2023.
In this meeting, Kémi Séba stated that the people of Africa have always felt the pain of brutal colonial and exploitative rule and apartheid governments with all their being, and they sympathize with Israel's crimes and the struggles of Palestinians who have been driven from their lands and homes. In fact, the important issue of Africa's solidarity with Palestine and Africa's attitude towards the Gaza war is rooted in the resistance movements around the world. The resistance movement in Palestine, like other resistance movements in the world, including Africa, is rooted in the people's request and will to confront oppression, crime, and apartheid systems.
He emphasized that the solidarity of the African people with the Palestinian people originates from the common root of the struggle against racism and anti-arrogance and that the ideal of Palestinian freedom is an inseparable part of the history of socio-political developments in new Africa.
