A new movement to unite Africa around traditional family values took a significant step forward on June 3 when representatives from about 20 countries met at Parliament House in Accra, Ghana. The delegates attending the 4th African Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values adopted a ‘Charter on Family, Sovereignty and Values’ designed to strengthen cooperation in defence of the family, cultural identity and national sovereignty.
The core objectives are to protect the traditional African family structure, resist outside pressures to adopt agendas promoted by the West as “human rights” and promote African self-sufficiency in all areas. The goal is that, by coming together on core traditional and family values, African countries can form a bloc large enough in terms of population and resources to veto any undesirable agenda that western or eastern blocs try to force upon them.
