- By NATION REPORTER

ZAMBIANS need to wake up and call the UPND govern ment to check for being west ern, Socialist Party President Fred M’membe has said.

Dr M’membe during the mining indaba organised by the Leadership Conference Foundation in Lusaka chal lenge Government to face him and deny that they were not puppets because they were sponsored by the west.

Dr M’membe also restated that the US combatant arm aka AFRICOM would bring nothing but instabilit­y to Zambia.

“I challenge them (govern ment) to face me and deny that they are not puppets be cause I am saying it again that they are a “puppet” government sponsored by the west,” said Dr M’membe.

He cautioned that the same way the west, Belgium to be specific killed the DRC (Zaire) Prime Minister 60 years and melted his body in sulphuric acid is the same way they would harm the ones that would oppose them in Zambia.

He said the return of Anglo American and entry of AF RICOM was not in the interest of Zambia but was in the inter est of themselves as they were after the mineral resources such as copper and cobalt.

“We were duped over pri vatisation, duped over liberal isation and today we are being duped about the return of the so-called investors through the puppet government­s such as in Zambia and Kenya which they are sponsoring.” He said.

Dr M’membe said it is a shame that Zambia continues to allow foreign mine compa nies to continue tax evasion while Zambians go hungry without food or money to ed ucate their children.
