FOREIGN military intervention has caused massive suffering in Africa and should be carried out with the consensus of African nations, the African Union's chairman said yesterday.
Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema did not mention Libya, but NATO airstrikes against Moammar Gadhafi's government have been at the forefront of the body's biennial summit.
"The intervention for human rights are nowadays causing a massive scourge," he said. "The uncounted number of victims, among them women and children, displaced people and the destruction of economic infrastructure does not justify such interventions."
