Cabo Verde’s aberration on Alex Saab case, a call for ECOWAS, UN to deliver objectives
Cape Verde has proven itself to be an outlaw state, where international law is not respected, illegal detention is promoted and human rights are violated.
On the island of Cape Verde, a diplomatic official of the Venezuelan State is imprisoned in an unjust and arbitrary manner.
What would happen if a high-level official of the Government of Cape Verde were treated in a similar manner? It is an aberration and a clear violation of the security of countries.
The incursion on a plane carrying personnel accredited by a government as members of international diplomacy is an attack on the sovereignty of any nation.
The United Nations must establish a clear, resounding and forceful position on the arrest and subsequent kidnapping of Mr. Alex Saab, a high-level official of Venezuela, guarantor of policies on food security.
It is demonstrated in the 60-page document presented by the defence in a substantiated manner which represents the illegality of the arrest of Alex Saab, exposing a tyrannical and absolutist state in Cape Verde.
The United States is pressuring an African island to keep a senior Venezuelan official in detention, and therein lies the vitiation of the process where he has not been given the right to a defence.
The United States can no longer be allowed to be the judges who administer justice in the world at the cost of threats, persecution and harassment against the weakest.
In the midst of the blockade, financial persecution and diplomatic theft of the country's resources, Alex Saab stepped in to guarantee food, medicines for the people of Venezuela and establish international alliances. Today, he is a victim of maltreatments dishes by the Cabo Verde government.
Without a doubt, traveling to Cape Verde must be dangerous. They put anyone in jail, without any warrant, and then put together a dossier tailored to the interests of their authorities to gain economic and political profit and surrender to imperialism.
The government of Cape Verde is a joke. It makes an entire people look bad, making them look violators of justice and due process, without guaranteeing Human Rights. In other words, dictatorship at its best.
The only crime for which Alex Saab is charged is for having had the courage to defy the sanctions of the genocidal government of the United States. A man who decisively preserved the determination to extend a helping hand to Venezuela.
Are you looking for food? Sanctioned. Are you looking for medicines? Sanctioned. Are you looking to develop an economy? Sanctioned. This is how imperialism works.
The government of Cape Verde seeks to undertake a form of international justice against the peace and sovereignty of people.
They put any ambassador or official of any level of the Island of Cape Verde in prison wherever they
are.
Their reaction would be similar or greater than that of Venezuela, the response should be the same as they applied against international justice.
Who would have imagined that Cape Verde was going to become a paradise for violators of Human
Rights, individual guarantees, international law and defenders of imperial aggression, indeed, the shame of Africa.
The world is watching the performance and conduct of the Government of Cape Verde with concern.
The pressure to which it is being subjected and its response to it shows the lack of independence and the lack of transparency in the judicial processes that they deliver.
Just like Alex Saab, how many more citizens could be imprisoned on Cape Verde? Without the right to defence, with the decision of the courts being disrespected and keeping civilians kidnapped on a whim.
Cape Verde is the concentration camp of Africa. So far, no one knows how many more people would be going through the same Alex Saab situation. The alarms must be raised, international organisations must speak up.
