Nigeria (IP) - A former Nigerian diplomat, Ambassador Adamu Aliyu has commended the kicking out of the Israeli ambassador by the African Union at its summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Iran PressAfrica: In an exclusive interview with Iran Press News Agency, former Nigeria's ambassador to Japan said: "The decision of the African Union against Israel is indeed welcome and should have been given much earlier because the zionists have been violating human rights for decades."

The senior diplomat who holds the traditional title of 'Walin Katagum', added: "The decision of the United Nations to recognise the state of Israel was done in violations of human rights. The recent decision of the African Union to kick out the observers from Israel was right and should have been done in a stronger way because there is no any reason for the African Union to give recognition to Israel."

Ambassador Adamu Aliyu also lambasted the Israeli regime for its barbaric massacre of Palestinians as well as for extorting their lands.

A video posted on social media showed security personnel removing Israelis including the Israeli regime's Foreign Ministry Deputy Director General for Africa, Sharon Bar-Li out of the auditorium during the opening ceremony of the African Union summit in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia on Saturday.

The zionists' foreign ministry in a statement on Saturday blamed South Africa and Algeria for being masterminds behind its removal at the summit.

Ambassador Adamu Aliyu said instead of baseless accusations, the regime in Tel Aviv should rather blame themselves for the isolation they are facing from world countries due to their crimes against humanity.
