Call for African nations to sever ties with Israel grows louder
Honorable Femi Fani-Kayode, former Nigerian Minister of Aviation and a prominent Christian leader, has urged African nations to sever diplomatic ties with the Israeli government in a bid to pressure the Zionist regime to halt the ongoing genocide against the people of Palestine and Lebanon.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with an Iran Press correspondent in Abuja, Femi Fani-Kayode also praised the Axis of Resistance, saying that Iran, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Iraqi PMF, and the Houthi Ansarullah of Yemen should be called the “Axis of Freedom.”
“These are the Axes of Resistance fighting to protect the entire Middle East. It is natural for people and entities to defend themselves and resist evil. You are dealing with an ethnocentric state that is completely engaged in killing everyone around them. They killed many during al-Nakba. So, these people (the Axis of Resistance) said enough is enough, and they stood up and said, ‘We will resist you.’ They are much more than that. It is the Axis of Freedom. These are the people trying their very best to ensure that freedom is granted not just to the Palestinians but to the entire Middle East,” he added.
Kayode continued: “That’s what is happening there. People are saying enough is enough. Enough of the killing, enough of the butchery, enough of the genocide, enough of the Holocaust, enough of the racism, enough of the establishment and actions of an apartheid state. The Zionists see Ashkenazi Jews—European Jews—as being superior to everyone else. They are suppressing the Palestinians, the rightful Jews of the land, not those who came from afar. What the Axis of Resistance is doing is a noble cause.”
“The Zionists are suppressing everyone, including Christians and Muslims, with a horrific vision—an evil vision—of establishing Greater Israel, whose borders would stretch from Egypt to Iran. Their goal is to take everything and everywhere in the Middle East. Resisting this, as the Axis of Resistance is doing, is a noble thing. It’s surely a noble thing. And I believe we should commend those who are resisting this evil. They have said no to this evil, and no to genocide. We stand firmly behind those who say no to genocide,” he added.
Iran Press: How do you think African countries will help to push Israel to stop the genocide?
Femi Fani Kayode: The first thing we need to do is to break diplomatic ties with Israel. I already have been saying that there is no gain in having diplomatic ties with the genocidal racist, apartheid state. We should have nothing to do with them. We should sever diplomatic relations with them. We should sever diplomatic links, sever business connections, and refuse to do business with them. We should refuse to even sit with them.
This is because Zionists do not have a place in their hearts for people of African heritage origin. Zionists deter Africans. Zionists deter Arabs. Zionists deter Christians, Zionists deter Muslims. Zionists deter everybody. The only thing that they love is money. They worship money and power. And they are people that ordinarily, no civilization should have dealing with. I am not talking about Jews, I am not anti-semitic.
There are many Jews all over the world who are against what the Zionist regime is doing. Africa can stand up, take the lead, and say no to Zionism. I am so happy with what President Bola Tinubu said when he went to Riyadh for the Arab-Islamic Summit. I am happy with the way he spoke on behalf of every single one of us. He said enough of the words, something needs to be done. This is not a matter of issuing statements.
It is time to go further, to resist what he called “the aggressions of Israel.” And I am glad that the Prince of Saudi Arabia called it “genocide”. I am glad that the Iranians were there in full force. I am glad that the whole global sounded.
