Zambia legitimises homosexuality


The president of Zambia Michael Sata and his government have legitimised homosexuality rights in Zambia.T he welcoming of homosexuality in the country came after the British Prime minister Cameroon threatened to take away aid from African countries who did not respect homosexuality rights.
An abomination to African countries
Whether Zambia is afraid of losing development aid it’s the question at hand ,because the same Zambian minister who accompanied the UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon when he visited Zambia to congratulate the country for finally respecting human rights is the same Minister who was against throwed a tantrum at what Cameron said about respecting rights in the Common wealth meeting.

If that's what Zambia wants it’s unknown because the government has not yet commented on their new policy.But the social groups in Zambia are up in arms against the homosexuality policy introduced in the country.The countries that have not accepted homosexuality are said to be violating human right but then the question at hand is, “Is the Zambian government ‘s move to welcome homosexuality without the public ‘s approaval not a violation of human rights too?

  1. That is a disturbing image but the article brings up a good point. Who has the right to decide which human right overrides another? And if they accept homosexuality in Zambia, who are they accepting it for since the people themselves don't want it?
