PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has claimed that African countries along with other nations from other regions such as Asia are prepared to pull out of the United Nations and form their own splinter Union.
He said that the idea came about after numerous attempts by the Africa Union to become permanent member of the United Nations Security Council we thwarted by some countries.
Currently the security council comprises China, Russia, Britain, France, and the United States.
Mugabe made the threat on Saturday while addressing to thousands of Zanu PF supporters gathered at Harare International Airport to welcome him back from the United Nations General Assembly which was held in New York last week.
"This year we went to UN as an African committee after we agreed to join hands and speak with one voice on the issue of vetoing power," he said.
"It's unfortunate that we had not finished and agreed on our position as the African Union, but I hope all will be fine next year.
"But next year in September if they keep on refusing to accept and give the Africa Union the veto powers we will pull out."
Mugabe claimed that not all security council members were against AU representation, and revealed that Russia and China backed Africa's position on the issue.
"But countries such as Britain, France and America are blocking us," he said.
"If they continue with their stance, they must know that more countries that are members of the United Nations are from Africa and Asia.
"They must not cry foul when countries from these regions pull out and form our own Union.
"The Union will have countries such as China, India and other Asian countries, and then we have to see that which countries will remain in United Nations."
Even so, the veteran leader conceded that not all African countries would back the call to pull out of the US.
"These are the countries we want, without fear like the founding fathers that formed Organisation of African Unity," he said.
"But now Africa is full of cowards who are afraid; so we need to give them courage during this process of deliberations.
"We have visited them country-by-country but they always tell us, you should be countries to lead us on this position.
"It's must not Mugabe alone who should always be outspoken on these issues. "

That will happen eventually. But membership is only voluntary on paper. The reality is not that simple.

Not with Russia and China behind us. By next year if Africa doesn't get representation in the UN Security Council, then know that it is time for #Afrexit.

Russia leave the UN high table? Not unless we make them our new boss in place of the West. And there be nothing further for them to gain in the current order.

China maybe, since they started out and survived without the UN for a while.

Are u one of those guys who has no idea of the political nature of the world or were you just released from prison? Can't you see the truth in what the man is saying? Unlike your president that plagiarizes others' speech and shivers at the mention of UK, US and likes, he's bold and outspoken. Incase you don't know, he's 100% correct and right.

I love dis guy a lot. It worth a leader. British, American and France is the main parasite in Africa soil,create a lot problem and pretend to love us. This white monkeys love us because of wealth of our nation,they don't love at all. Remember d speech of Ghaddafi of Libya that he will not go to exile,he was born in Libya. American and EU (NATO) will kill me and dey will witness unending terrorism and is happening. He also promise Libya dat it is wise 4 dem to support him and if dey fail dey will suffer and today Libya is paying d ultimate price.
