DECLARATION OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CARIBBEAN

(A Declaration that was authored by the Pan-Africanist and Socialist popular forces of
the Caribbean nation of Barbados at Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday 13th January 2018, and
submitted to the people and civil society organizations of the Caribbean for their endorsement and adoption)

U S PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN DECLARED
"PERSONA NON GRATA" IN THE CARIBBEAN

The Economic, Social and Cultural Council of the African Union received with utter shock the news of the uncouth words used by the President of the United States in reference to African people and people of African descent. We note that this language is wrong and does not reflect the stature of the President of the United States.
In Africa we do deeply respect elders and the language that elders use should be respectful and one that befits the position that they hold. The President of the United States is an elder and should always remember and act as one.

Addis Ababa, 12 Janvier 2018 – Holding under theme: “Winning the Fight against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in Africa”, the Tenth (10th ) African Union Pre-Gender Summit will take place from Wednesday 17 to Thursday 18 January 2018, at the African Union (AU) Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The event will hold in the Small Conference Hall 4 , New Conference Center of the AU under the leadership of H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC).
