Zambian President Edgar Lungu has declared US Ambassador to Zambia Daniel Lewis Foote “persona non grata”, over forcing Zambian government to review its homosexuality laws. Ambassador Foote carried out criticism on judgment by a Zambian High Court at Lusaka, awarding 15 years imprisonment of two Zambian male Christians nationals, Japhet Chataba and Steven Samba who were caught red-handed committing sin of homosexuality. This led to sour diplomatic relations between Zambia and US. Ambassador Foote said in a statement that he was horrified that a judge had sentenced the men to 15 years imprisonment after they were caught having sex. Zambian Foreign Minister Joseph Malanji in a statement said, "US cannot pressurize a government to make a decision at gun point - because they are giving us aid.” 

President Lungu said "Even animals don't do it, so why should we be forced to do it?” On the other hand Ambassador Foote issued a statement, "I was shocked at the venom and hate directed at me and my country, largely in the name of 'Christian' values” and also e accused President Lungu of interfering in judicial affairs through statements rejecting homosexual rights. It is interesting to note that there are few countries left which still follow Christian values. Homosexual acts are illegal is all the divine religions including Davidians, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Even the bush people who profess no religion consider highly offensive. The Zambian constitution acknowledges the supremacy of God Almighty and follows the true teaching of Prophet, Jesus Christ (Hazrat Eassa Alhe Salam).

US has long history of interfering the internal affairs of sovereign nations despite clarity given in United Nations Charter; Article 2.7 of the Charter of the United Nations provides that Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter. Article 15 (8) of the Covenant of the League of Nations and the Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States of 1933, prohibits "interference with the freedom, the sovereignty or other internal affairs, or the processes of the Governments of other nations. Similarly, Article 2(4) reads that All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations. It is time to make US follow International obligations.
