Edgar Lungu Wants U.S. Ambassador Out Of The Country For Defending Gay Couple by Blindersoff: 8:10pm On Dec 20, 2019
Zambian President Edgar Lungu wants the U.S. ambassador to leave the country after the diplomat criticized the African state for sentencing a gay couple to 15 years behind bars for having a consensual relationship.

“We have complained officially to the American government, and we are waiting for their response because we don’t want such people in our midst,” Lungu said Sunday in comments broadcast on state-owned ZNBC TV. “We want him gone.”

U.S. Ambassador Daniel Foote said last month that he was “personally horrified” after the high court sentenced the two men and called on the government to reconsider laws that punish minority groups. The move was particularly disturbing as “government officials can steal millions of public dollars without prosecution,” Foote said.

The U.S. provides $500 million in aid to Zambia yearly, according to Foote.

“We are saying no to homosexuality,” Lungu said in comments broadcast by Sky News earlier this month. “When you are tying it to aid, if that is how you are going to bring your aid, then I’m afraid the west can leave us alone in our poverty. And we’ll continue scrounging and struggling.”

The State Department didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

the law is the law... let them deport this foolish man who does NOT want to follow the laws of the country that welcomed him.

then, when Saudi Arabia will be stoning people to death LAWFULLY, these same bastards would be quiet. btw that same crime of homosexuality is punishable by DEATH in Saudi Arabia.

Never be like Esau who sold his birthright for food. It's time these people leave Africa alone. They give you aid and attach homosexuality to it. How can a man be having sex with another man from the anus? The Devil is truly busy.

Modified:

For all those supporting homosexuality I have just one prayer for you... May your sons bring home a man to marry and may your daughters bring home a woman to marry. Amen.

Okay. In as much as I do not like same sex relationships and do not make a case for gays, it is true that African leaders are hypocrites and do not always tackle issues that will promote the welfare of the populace. We try to prove to the world that we are 'pure', that our beliefs forbid certain things, yet, we are wicked! We chase shadows. And as the US man rightly said we look away when a public office holder spends money lavishly without being tried but go after people who decided what to do with their own bodies. Some of these so called leaders are homosexuals themselves. 'Leave us to languish in our poverty' yen yen yen, as if he or any member of his immediate family is poor. Foolish, wicked people!

Both of them are wrong. You can't be criticizing a government that you are representing. Zambia government is wrong for such harsh punishment to gay people.

America is losing its Glory already, I think the current president has shown the American weakness to the world and nobody takes America serious anymore, the way Kim of North Korea played U.S sef, it's enough for the world to see America has a joke.
