The Jerusalem
Summit Africa was held on June 19th 2006 near Cape Town, South
Africa, with 200 delegates from all over Africa and Israel
in attendance.
We, the delegates, affirm:
1. "The Judeo / Christian
value system to be the only viable system, in all respects,
upon which to
embark upon the great challenge of nation building;
2. "The right of Israel to exist
in peace and security in her ancient and Biblical homeland,
with
Jerusalem as her eternal and undivided Capital;
3. "That Israel cannot be expected
to give up any land to any entity that seeks and works for
her
total destruction;
4. "That we call upon African
leaders to speak out against the war of terror presently being
waged
against Israel by religious extremists;
5. "That we are all outraged by
the persecution and killing of Christians by "Jihadists"
on the
continent of Africa, especially in Sudan, Chad and Nigeria;
6. "That we deeply deplore and
regret the corrupt Christian witness that was given to Africa
and
her great peoples through aspects of Colonialism and failed
Political Systems like Apartheid;
7. "That African nations that
engage Israel positively will themselves be enriched in all
areas of
commerce, industry and human endeavor. Their engagement should
not be based on blind
support, but on a genuine friendship that is prepared to correct,
voice concerns and seek for
positive solutions to problems facing both regions;
8. "That Israel's great technological breakthroughs in
science, agriculture and medicine could make
a massive and positive impact upon Africa;
9. "That African and Israeli leaders
should meet regularly to discuss their problems, concerns
and
needs. By these means they can implement projects and policies
to improve the quality of life of
all their peoples;
10. "That we recognize that in
many countries of Africa, women remain disempowered, discriminated
against and oppressed. This must be urgently addressed and
needs to change;
11. "That we pledge ourselves
to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our national leaders
in
Africa and Israel."
