Namibian President Hage Geingob, who is hosting a summit of southern African leaders, on Saturday strongly rejected criticism of Africa by the West saying there was undue pressure on the continent. “People have an attitude about Africa,” Geingob said in an interview with the French radio network RFI. “Things that they want Africans to do… they don’t demand from other places,” the president said. The Comoros is expected to formally join the Southern African Development Community at the two-day summit which ends on Saturday. Geingob, 77, was prime minister of Namibia between 1990-2002 and 2012-2015 before becoming president in 2015.
