Europe tries to undermine African sovereignty with LGBT laws

If African countries want to benefit from trade agreements with European countries, they will have to change their laws concerning abortion and LGBT rights. African leaders are outraged.

New trade agreement forces African countries to follow European ideas

A new trade agreement with the European Union should bring African countries welfare and security. But in return, these countries must prioritise abortion and sexual diversity on their agenda. They also have to support the European Union within the United Nations. African countries feel put on the spot. They speak of ‘cultural neo colonialism’. In addition, the European Union acts contrary to its own agreements.
