Brexit: To Be Or Not To Be.

by Eze Eluchie,

Article 20 Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
2. No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

As the people of the United kingdom go to the polls on June 23rd 2016, to choose whether they want to continue with their membership of the European Union or not, what they require from the rest of the world (those who may be interested in the outcome of what is clearly a sole choice of the British people), is goodwill messages expressing to, where and when possible, support whatsoever decisions they arrive at, respect their right to choose and non-interference in the processes leading to that choice.

Scaremongering, veiled threats, dooms-day scenario painted or voiced by foreign ‘experts’ desirous of one outcome of the referendum or the other is disrespectful of the British as it tends to portray them as a people who do not know what is best for themselves, amounts to unnecessary interference in the affairs of a sovereign people, undemocratic as those who are not directly impacted by the outcomes seem intent on influencing the process, and simply distasteful.

Quite a lot of people across Sub-Sahara Africa are anxious for an opportunity to decide for themselves whether to continue with the contraptions into which they were entrapped by pre-colonial draconian agreements and would give an-arm-and-a-leg for the privilege the British will be enjoying come the 23rd June.

So, to the British: go and decide for yourselves.
