African union must obey world bank Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/19/1525214#transcript http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/19/1525214#transcript Dennis Brutus, South African poet, activist and Professor Emeritus in the Department of Africana Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. DENNIS BRUTUS: Well, I think two-fold. The one is, as you may know, we used to have what is called the O.A.U., Organization of African Unity, which is now changed. It's become the A.U., African Union. It's bound by a very peculiar document which is called "A New Partnership for African Development," which requires all African countries to obey the instructions of the World Bank and the I.M.F., and if they don't, they're accused that they don't have good governance. So, they have to behave themselves. That's one half of the problem. The other is that the United States is seeking to establish further military bases in Africa, and it's expecting African governments to cooperate with that. So this whole new process of an African Union seems to me very dangerous, because Africa is being dragged into collaboration with a kind of imperial agenda, global domination, what they call full spectrum domination. So I think we're in trouble, but I also think we are building resistance at the same time. That makes me quite hopeful.
