The Nation Newspaper Unions demand debt relief for African nations
The unions also urged governments of African countries to take immediate action on debts and borrowing.
Also, the President of ZCTU, Comrade Blake Malala, said: “African workers have woken up and will not keep quiet on the issue of debt and borrowing anymore. We shall henceforth engage and hold our governments accountable for the sake of our children and their unborn children.” “The burden of debt on African workers and citizens perpetuates poverty, exacerbates inequality, and hinders access to essential services, while undermining economic development and perpetuating cycles of dependency.
“Despite previous debt relief efforts, the underlying structural problems remain unaddressed, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and economic dependence. Zambia’s relationship with the World Bank and IMF spans decades, yet solutions offered thus far fail to alleviate our plight, serving the interests of creditors rather than the well-being of our people.
