The only info I am getting is that an African Diplomat said it but nothing else. I want to use it for the Xi Jingping section of my research paper for Political Science, I think it would add a nice bit of “flavour” for introducing the topic of Chinese relations with African states.
Was it that video where the
diplomat[Namibian president] shuts down theBritish[German] guy criticising China’s influence in Africa? I vaguely recall them sitting [next to]ina yellow/red/orange[flag]roomon those short, squat, square armchairs. That’s not much to go on but I have a feeling I watched it around Spring 2023.Edit: this is close but not quite what you’re after: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Jw2BOG57_2M
Iirc Mbembe did an interview with News with JingJing. He might’ve said it in that one. Here’s a clip: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=GwH0b07LVNU [Edit 2: here’s the full interview, I think: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/391298]
This is the video I was thinking of, with Hage Geingob, President of Namibia: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=t89AP1TRyN0 — but it’s not in this one, either. Geingob died recently. Just before he died, he challenged Germany’s support for Israel in the ICJ case. I can’t comment on his politics in general. But I’ve got to respect what appears to be a lifelong dedication to not putting up with Germany’s bullshit.
