Thank you, Mr President, for that reply. The threats by the ANC Youth League to establish a Botswana command team that will work towards uniting all opposition forces in Botswana to oppose what they called a puppet regime by the Botswana Democratic Party must be condemned by all political parties in this House.
We have already seen two coups d'tat on the continent this year: the first by the French special forces with United Nations forces in the Ivory Coast, helping Alassane Ouattara rebels, and the second by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, Nato, by helping Libyan forces, or rebels, rather, to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi from power. So we don't need a third coup d'tat in Botswana by the youth league.
How will the hon President ensure that such statements are not repeated and that all other formations in our country come to the understanding that the destabilisation of any sovereign country and the toppling of another government by outside forces are wicked and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms?
