  • How many rebels have the West aided, from UNITA in Angola to Mobutu in Congo and even the so called NTC in Libya, yet when the ANC fought against Aparthied the West (especially Reagan & Thatcher) Labelled them terroists! They must really think we're stupid.

  • Why do people always generalise Africa? They're are 56 DIFFERENT countries in Africa which are all politically, economically, socially and even sometimes culturally different to one another. Some are developed (South Africa), others are on the road to development (Angola) and others are just in shambles (Somalia). In a globalised world everyone needs everyone, whether it's Africa, China, EU etc. It's all about getting the best deal, and right now the Chinese are lookng favourable.

  • Why Chinese sent a big gift to African, left their own people suffering from disease, poverty, I saw lots of Chinese workers and peasants suffered to die in the street, nobody ever looks at them. Chinese students study in very old buildings made with mud.

    Be careful with what you got, African, Devil dragon is coming to Africa!

  • Ero and the us must stay out

  • @TEAMxEPICxSPACE

    i fully agree!

  • Rising from Ethiopia’s oldest maximum security prison, the new $200 million African Union Headquarters (AUHQ) proudly erects as a monolith should. China, who completely funded the project, already battling accusation of land grabs, further established suspicions.

    An important organization such as this one obviously requires a modern, highly functional, state of the art setting to operate as the survival and progression of Africa depends on it.

  • Chinese buildings = mIckey mOuSe !...short illusion !

  • Africa still needs Europe?? for what? to be taught homosexuality and drug abuse?? to be taught child molestation?? to be taught corruption and strategies to instigate and finance wars with the aim of looting natural resources??

    NO NO NO the world has learnt what Europe and North America are all about. This century is all about forming new partnerships that are beneficial to African first. Europe needs to fix the mess that is Greece and Portugal and Italy before trying to "help" Africa.

  • Need the united states for what? To repeat the horror in the middle east? Don't think so.

  • Actually, a lot of Chinese have not places to live

  • Im praying to Jesus that nether China nor Africa turned traitors in this. When i've saw this on CCTV an month ago: i just shed tears of joy that they're bonding hard & i've find that beautiful as well. May this be an fruitful relationship despite the world is gonna for World War 3. Comment Apporved by an denounced american black man who's ashamed to be in this wicked, antisocial & evil nation as Amerikkka with communist/socalist idiots.

  • @UltraDOG17 what are you talking about?

  • AFRICA DOES NOT NEED THE US,CHINA,BRITS, OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER SHE HAS THE RAW RESOURCES ITS THE OTHER COUNTRIES THAT NEED HER. FREAKIN LIEin FOOL!!! RAPEIN THAT LAND TILL SHES DRY EH?!!!!!

  • Ameircunts here are saying china is eating dog and stuff which they make games that kills Africans and instead of gifting Africa they leave them poor saying that they support them, what a joke

  • THE UNITED STATES OF AFRICA U.S.A

  • GOOD FOR CHINA & THE AFRICA UNION!!! AMERICA & THE EU ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD!!! i'm an american telling you this. i'm almost ashamed to be called an american.

  • i love how the western world is saying how China is against other country, but in the actually ture we are giving back to the world, on the other hand western world is fucking everything up, and China fix it LOL fucking retard ass white peoples

  • @MyZhiyuan i agree with you except for the f**king retard ass white people remark. i respect the fact that it will be China, Russia, India, Africa, & South America, which will start leading the world. i see it happening. and i'm an american acknowledging this.

  • @EndtimeWarrior100 i apologize about calling them retard ass, not all of them are i have to say, but there are definitively ton of them are, i could tell you are not one of them

  • Imagine a Union of 54 countries,I mean the whole African continent with over one Billion peoples does not have a Veto Power in UN Security Council ,while France does,U.K does.

  • @AfroAsiaticLangs

    yep rediculous.

  • white men just want to create trouble for Africa and take everything they can. Chinese and Asians in general are more trustworthy than any white men from anywhere in the world. think about all the military, nuclear and naval bases in south Korea. what are the white men doing thousands of miles away with the military bases and aircraft carriers? is it because they care about Asians or its for the profit of the arms industry at the expense of Asians who are looked down upon by white men?

  • Everyone needs a little help sometimes especially after si many years of oppresion and ignorance because of europeans

  • Africa is bad because of the colonization the western world did to it

    Africans black people are strong and smart one day africa will rise up and unify

  • They plan to have electricity in the building before 2023, so I've heard.

  • @MrCropper you need to watch "Middle Class Sprawls in Nairobi Kenya" here on youtube by worldfocusonline. Middle class is growing in Africa while its shrinking in the US. Stop dreaming.

  • china's dirty hand in Darfur Genocide!!! 

  • Please China... start to feed Africans

  • @TwiztidcAsh give the man a fish and he would be fed for a day. teach the man to fish and he would be fed a lifetime. developing their economy is the only way to improve their standard of living.

  • @TwiztidcAsh Don't believe the Chinese have built this for free, in exchange they will also win big. We don't need their food, we want to do business with them, that's all. In exchange for lots of things, they come to invest here. This is business.

  • @Sgaga25

    Yea,right,the next time you will be surprising to see Africans speaking Chinese,and returns your stinking English/French languages .

    Africans are tired of Westerners,they these colonialist still raping African today.

    I said no more Westerners in African Affairs.

    Long life to Africa / China relationship.

  • @AfroAsiaticLangs and i completely agree with you...and i'm an american saying this

  • Comment removed

  • white trash starting jelus...Lol

  • @998evo Not really, in Europe and America we don't need outside help to build something like this.

  • Thank you China, you are most welcome to Africa.I proppose that the Renminbi Yuan be Africa's new exchange rate currency and mandarin be taught in all scholls ASAP. Long live the Chinese.

  • @SuperFactsonly How quickly and pathetically you abase yourself before your new masters. One day Africa will learn how to stand on its own two feet but that day is a long, long time off.

  • @Wingatewasright I'm a realist, without the Chinese we will be doomed way before that long long time comes to pass.

  • @SuperFactsonly why do you need the chinese? are blacks not smart enough to build on their own? have some pride. How do you want to be a slave and have new masters? I'm starting to think Africans allow slavery to exist because they are too weak. Stand up for yourself.

  • @bucks100plus Weak mindless Africans is all that we have left on our continent. We need the Chinese to spark that creative genie within us hence help us move forward. I'm excited about the prospects that the Chinese will bring to this wonderful continent.

  • @SuperFactsonly Pathetic. You just admitted that other races are superior to Africans. Why are weak mindless Africans all that you have left? Where are the innovators, creators, great thinkers?

  • @bucks100plus Example: Nelson Mandela was allowed to live whilst the people who were seen as the real threat were annihilated in apartheid South Africa, Go figure!. Same can be said about the Roman treatment of the Jews. Only the pacified citizens are allowed to live.The Chinese built a wall and stood still and were overtaken as a superpower. They have rediscovered that spark and they will help us rediscover ours too. It's got nothing to do with one race being more superior.

  • @bucks100plus "build on their own" it's just easy to say. All people need to 1stly get the knowledge and then do it. There're also many buildings which foreigners(ex. Russian) built for us in China, and we learnt a lot from them. China is even now learning from the west by copying their things. Africa is experiencing what China experienced, there's nothing to do with slave nor master, we are equal. Africa will be better and better , but there are the things she must experience.

  • bitching is awesome, isnt it?

  • Fuckin chinks! Nuke those yellow bastards. That human dog and cat eating scum is a curse for the civilized world.

  • @trailblazer1975 we eat aninmal,but so called white eat human, get out of America Africa and Mid-east, coward!

  • @trailblazer1975 ever heard of ricochet?

  • CHINA WILL CONTROL DA WORLD'  WEST WILL BE POOR

  • The west domination of the world is coming to an end. Asia, with the help of China primarily will take over in 30 years if not sooner. Africa will rival the west by the latter part of this century. If the world as we know it doesn't end in the 22nd century, Africa will once again dominate the world, with Asia a close second, and the west will be left begging for scraps.

  • I hope China does not won't Africa to me it would make sense. If they are just giving them gifts just to gain there trust.

  • @Clee4000 china n africa will control da world becouse africa oil n petrol

  • China always gives what the Africans really need, and the West always likes to teach Africans how to do things... Hey, western bitch, you are not smarter than the African people, and they know how to do business...Go Africa!

  • I was in Addis Ababa last year the city looks fantastic I was reluctant to come back to cold, rainy London however, I am very interested in China's bid to rehabilitate Africa's oil refining capacity. Particularly in Nigeria for a while China has been putting billions on the table to achieve this and conveniently. Some Islamist group starts blowing everything up can you imagine if China pulls this off? No more importing refined oil, petrol at around $0.17 a gallon. Shell, BP will have problems.

  • LOL. A white man telling everyone that Africa needs the US and Europe.

  • China it our far awaY brother they will help us to get on our feet thanx to the gods and they never did noting wrong agains us viva africa the ancient etiopia amoun hotep

  • As long as Africa don't do business with the White man she will be fine, Onward and upward Africa.

  • The United States of Assholes and the United Kingdom of Great Biatches are just plain jealous. They had the chance of doing this same thing ages ago, but guess what they did? They just took Africans for granted and now they are ranting. Typical of an Asshole and Biatch.

  • the white men wanted african resources and gave back nothing. the chinese men wanted african resources and is giving back by building roads, hospitals, infrastructure, investments, schools etc.

  • Comment removed

  • Westerner really did nothing for africa except ruin and slavery. And now they play African people off against China who NEVER EVER did anything bad to africa. It's true China wants the resources, but we are on fair and real business with each other. Not by guns and "democracy". shame on AlJazeera

  • china and africa is the economy economic partnership.west country jealous of it and did what they can imagine to slander the link

  • The Chinese know how to get things done.

    The European Imperialists just came along, invaded their land and took many as slaves..

  • white people will one day learn how to treat black people with respect and its not far from now.

  • @MrHBUNDY How long will it be before Black people start treating Black people with respect?

  • long live asia long live africa

  • come back in 5 years and see a slum

  • Comment removed

  • "Africa still needs Europe!"

    Really? Well, Mr. Cilliers, what has Europe given to Africa?

  • @ktchong Everything Africa has today. But that did Africans ruin by themself. But stil blame Euorpe for.

  • The white man sounds jealous and worried.

  • why all the hate? do I missed something it`s an Arab channel reporting about Africa affair & relationship with china? why are north American and European here? we don`t go on CNN/BBC tell you what you should do or not! stay the fuck out of here! go watch Jersey shore, fox channel, Obama or Pat Robinson lol

  • @hppaviliontac well, we sure got alot of you shitskins emmigrating here

  • @hppaviliontac I'm fairly certain that people can use whatever news source they like, its the English language version of an Arabic network after all.

  • China is doing the right thing, there finding HUNDREDS of new oil fields in Africa everyday..

    While Europe, and America are kinda giving them a cold shoulder, China is taking up

  • China is probably a much better alternative than europe...

  • The Western nations had over 180 years ahead start. with f**k up results .

  • The African Union Headquarters would be a great place to hold the trial of Mengitsu, the man responsible for the deaths of millions of Ethiopians. Of course, as long as Mengitsu is being protected by Zimbabwe he will never face justice for his crimes. But this is the reality of Africa, murderous criminals protecting murderous criminals while all the time preaching to the world about ‘justice’ and ‘equality’ …

  • @Wingatewasright how about meles mr agame!

  • Bunch of dumb Ethiopians...Say Thank you 2 china for a lot of things cuz Europeans stole all the silver, platinum, copper, Potash, and more. while ethiopians suffered with hunger and diseases and they did 2% to help with humanitarian only. But who cares if china is getting all the natural resources...They worked hard and developed the country so well, Men and woman. So, thank you china and they should always be welcome to their second home ethiopia!!

  • The Second Congo War, fought in Africa by Africans, was the deadliest conflict in the world since WWII with eight African nations directly involved in the fighting and many more indirectly involved. The African Union did nothing, absolutely nothing, to stop this bloodbath or the wholesale looting of the DRC by its neighbours. Still, at least the AU has a nice, shiny HQ in which to do nothing in …

  • @Wingatewasright White people, especially the british, wiped out Aborigionies and Native American Indians in their colonial domination of the world. British also subjected Africa and India to numerous human rights violations and exploitation. British are now in a state of decline with 400% of their GDP debt, they are the 4th largest in debt nation.. ironically you owe China most of the money while at the same time bashing them here.

  • @OperationSunset British GDP is $2.25 trillion. British national debt is $1 trillion. Now, how is the latter ‘400%’ of the former? Black people have been happily and eagerly murdering and enslaving other Black people since long before Europe was settled by humans, crimes that continue to this day. More Black people died in the six years of the Second Congo War than died in the three centuries of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Shameful.

  • @Wingatewasright britian's external debt to GDP is 476% source US debt clock, world debt tab

  • @viewerdotcom Wow, yesterday it was 70%, then 400% and now 476% ... Do you guys simply post the first number that pops into your tiny minds?

  • @Wingatewasright i sourced mine, and i cannont represent the other 2 number, since i didn't write it.

  • @viewerdotcom You seem confused between 'external debt' and 'national debt'. Do you understand the difference?

  • @Wingatewasright can you explain where i got confuse? my line clearly written "britian's external debt to GDP is 476%" there's is nothing wrong with the sentence. I wrote a fact, i made 0 opinion, care to explain my confusion?

  • @viewerdotcom The originally the discussion was about national debt not external debt and an earlier posters confusion between the two. Your weak ‘contribution’ offers nothing new other than adding to the confusion of those who seem to think both debts are the same thing.

  • @Wingatewasright just a bit of advice, as one white to another, dont waste your time arguing with blacks, you are not going to make them see the truth, nor does it matter what their opinions are. It is a pointless endeavor, they are sub human filth who have no accomplishments of their own, and rely on pity from others.

  • @GiggleHz lol sub human filth. Sure how are they sub human filth? Oh and did you help out on the accomplishments of white man inventions? h Did you help create the internet? Create the light bulb? What did you do? Oh.. nvm.. you were born white by chance.

  • with the fat lazy cows in the way, outsiders will continue to loot our resources and by the time the fat asses move it will be too late.

  • to have a real renaissance, first we need to get rid of these traitor leaders of the AU. They are like cows blocking a road, their fat ass is blocking African from moving forward.

  • @monica24b true

  • Africa need democracy,trade,education and common understanding for it's development.Africa is now towards democratization,development and world trade.It's time for Africa to gear forward in democracy,trade,and development.We are the wold,we are not isolated from the world,we trade with America,UK,France, Germany, Italy and other western countries just like as we trade with Japan,China,India.Africa should emerge on world trade strong and full confidence. LONG LIVE AFRICA! 

  • All I have to say is...this is just the beginning you player haters. Go Zimbabwe, go Africa, u don't like Africa or Africans then leave them alone and stay in your ice box. Africa will rise AGAIN.

  • nice job aljazeera, interviewing a white man about what Africa want and need.

  • @walle1999 that's how western propaganda works.

  • @walle1999 lol

  • @walle1999 As if a black man could fill that role.

  • @walle1999 Why did you say that?

  • Comment removed

  • Yea right???A building for the au?What about them people starving.This makes me sick

  • Since 1960 Egypt’s GDP has risen from $4.1 billion to $200 billion the Democratic Republic on Congo’s has risen from $5 billion to $12 billion while South Korea’s has gone from $3 billion to $1 trillion. Africa could now be an industrial and economic powerhouse instead of the decaying dump that it is had the right choices been made. Still, never mind, it can always blame the ‘colonialists’ for all its problems …

  • @Wingatewasright perhaps you need to read about the wonders of the IMF.

  • @walle1999 Ah, the IMF. That would be excuse number 7 wouldn’t it?

  • @Wingatewasright i guess you are just ignorant about the facts

  • @walle1999 You haven't presented any facts old boy, I guess some people are just plain ignorant.

  • @Wingatewasright the fact you address others as "boy" just show you are a 50 year old american redneck.

  • Comment removed

  • @walle1999 Wrong. Do you want to guess again boy?

  • @Wingatewasright sorry a 51 year old redneck.

  • @walle1999 Have you ever got anything in your life right boy?

  • @Wingatewasright Of course, i've concluded that you are a hillbilly redneck didn't i?

  • @walle1999 Well let me guess somethings about you. You are Black, living in a predominantly White country, vocally proud of your African roots yet not making any plans to actually go and live there. Who's that boy?

  • @Wingatewasright if that floats your boat, hillbilly

  • @Wingatewasright wow, you hit the nail on the head lol

  • @Wingatewasright you zionists are funny....hahahaha

  • @kemetkush You Klan supporters are pathetic. Don't send me any more or your racist propoganda privately either you Nazi cunt.

  • @Wingatewasright nazi???? i am black bitch.

  • @kemetkush You are a supporter of David Duke, an ex KKK Grand Wizard and you hate Jews. You are a Nazi you stupid cunt.

  • @Wingatewasright the zionists are the real enemy of the black-man...

  • @kemetkush Look at the state of Africa you stupid Nazi cunt. Black men are the real enemy of Black men.

  • @Wingatewasright the first jewish settlement in the united states was a florida sugar plantation supported entirely by the labor of enslaved africans...rabbi mare lee raphael.

  • @kemetkush So what? Africans were enslaving Africans generations before King Solomon was born you Nazi cunt.

  • @Wingatewasright jews warehoused so many african slaves in barbados that gentile authorities moved to limit the number of captives they could possess...jewish historian dr. cecil roth.

  • @Wingatewasright Just saying South Korea's GDP is 1.2 trillion nominal and 1.5 trillion (ppp) cant just forget about 200-500 billion is all lol But i agree colonialism is a poor excuse and is outdated. That thinking must go its time to move on. That being said tho Africa is posting some really promising growth numbers I believe 6 of the top 10 nations in GDP growth are African nations so u know things change with time. We could see a rise of Africa in another 50 years. O__o

  • @Wingatewasright Thats funny. I thought they blamed bad leadership, not the colonialists!

  • @Wingatewasright So what are you saying? What does China have to do with this?

  • @VanillaSnow23 Are you stupid enough to belive that China is a charitable institution?

  • even the chinks are fucking africa...africa is like an old whore always getting fucked. before it was us, we are still fucking it, but not as hard as we use to.

  • @feyzu66 Keep up the good works! Africa and China forever! The pale shades will become paler!

  • Holla where my African bros at?! xD

  • Africa (population 1,022,234,000) has the same GDP as Canada (population 34,000,000). The place is a squalid basket case, politically and economically.

  • @Wingatewasright Yet China and India are flocking to the continent to invest while you white trash beggers ask the emerging economies to loan your train wreck economies, the Euro is on the brink of disintegration and the US has serious mounting debt over $15 trillion which is 100% of GDP. The end of western parasites is near. All we need is another Iran war! lol jewish slaves!

  • @OperationSunset Wtf are you talking about man. Your Ethiopian Prime Minister is the biggest beggar of USA UK and EU. He just begs this building from China. What is next? Ethiopia is fighting US dirty war in East Africa. Nigeria is doing the same in West Africa.

    So pleas stop complaining about the white man. Begin the change by your self. Begin to think for your self.

  • @nakfa yes Africa is changing and developing with the help from Asians. They come in not chopping the hands of Africans, not raping their women, no torture, no enslaving, not chaining nor shackling them! Whitemen get lost!

  • @Wingatewasright not really, some of the fastest growth is among many African COUNTRIES Canada is one country with one government Africa has many governments and many different types of economies.

  • @blueiguy1 Yes, really. The entire continent of Africa with its 1,000,000,000 + population generates the same amount of wealth per year as Canada with its population of 34,000,000. Africa is being left behind and is increasingly irrelevant to the world economy.

  • Africa is not poor.What makes Africa poor and beggar is lack of education and good governance. Africa is a land of full natural resources, culture, cheep man power and fertile land for agriculture and mining.We need a bilateral mutual development from the rest of the wold , whether from America, EU countries, or Asia'n countries like Japan, and South Korea or China.Any country who has bilateral interest in Africa can participate for the benefit and interest of both people.

  • @girumget "Africa is not poor. What makes Africa poor is...."

  • SO CHINESE SAY CHINA DOES NOT SUPPORT THE GENOCIDE IN DARFUR...

    BUT CHINESE MONEY FEEDING AND MAKING THE JANJAWEED STRONGER.

    CHINESE WEAPONS USED IN KILLING SUDANESE CHILDREN AND WOMEN, WHO ARE RAPED AND TORTURED...

    CHINESE NOT PULLING THE TRIGGER PUTTING GUNS AND MONEY INTO THE MURDERERS...

    AGAIN PEOPLE STOP THINK! CHINA NOT INVOLVED IN DARFUR GENOCIDE??? :D
