President Robert Mugabe has accused Western countries of inflaming conflicts on the African continent for under the disguise of peacekeeping for their own selfish interests. “Over many years, Africa has painstakingly constructed its own peace and security architecture with early warning training and standby military structures both at sub regional and continental levels. Although still underfunded and under equipped, these structures have served the continent well, helping to diffuse tensions where these have arisen and helping to contain conflicts in those areas where sadly hostilities have occurred.” Mugabe said Africa had many conflicts fuelled by the “global bullies who then manipulate the whole continent for selfish interests”.
