Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Among the many diplomatic risks for the United States amid the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, further alienating the Global South \u2014 including Africa \u2014 is high on the list.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to generalize about African public opinion, especially given the absence of continent-wide polling data regarding the present violence.<\/p>\n

Yet after African governments\u2019 initially divided reactions to the round of conflict that began with Hamas\u2019s October 7 attack on Israel, there are now numerous indications that most African governments, key African political factions, and substantial portions of African publics are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and appalled at the current Israeli military campaign in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Many African governments have historically supported an independent Palestine. In recent decades, however, Israel has increased its diplomatic presence on the continent, although not always in a linear fashion.<\/p>\n

Mauritania, for example, recognized Israel in 1999 before suspending ties in 2009. Amid the current crisis, however, African governments have virtually all been opposed to Israel\u2019s bombardment and invasion of Gaza.<\/p>\n

For example, on October 23, a Jordanian resolution calling for an \u201cimmediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities\u201d passed in the United Nations General Assembly by a vote of 120 for, 14 against, and 44 abstentions.<\/p>\n

Thirty-five African states (counting North African states) voted for the resolution, including Morocco and Sudan, which are signatories to the Abraham Accords that normalized their relations with Israel in late 2020.<\/p>\n

No African state voted against the resolution, although some did not vote, while a handful of others, such as Cameroon and Ethiopia, abstained. Support for such resolutions went directly against American wishes.<\/p>\n

At the diplomatic level, the African Union continues to support a two-state solution and, on October 15, joined the Arab League in a statement calling for peace and decrying \u201ccollective punishment\u201d \u2014 a reference to the high civilian toll resulting from Israel\u2019s heavy bombing campaign. Meanwhile, at least two African countries have recalled their diplomats from Israel: South Africa and Chad.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s ruling African National Congress (ANC), even before coming to power in 1994, was a longtime supporter of the Palestinian cause and, in particular, the Palestine Liberation Organization of Yasser Arafat, whom the ANC\u2019s Nelson Mandela called an \u201coutstanding freedom fighter.<\/p>\n

\u201d On November 6, Pretoria summoned its ambassador back from Israel, citing civilian deaths in Gaza and what Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor called \u201ccollective punishment\u201d of Gazans by Israel and what her government has also framed as \u201cgenocide.
\nTwo days earlier, Chad had recalled its charge\u0301 d\u2019affaires from Tel Aviv, calling for a \u201cceasefire leading to a durable solution of the Palestinian question.<\/p>\n

\u201d Chad\u2019s move was particularly significant because it only recently upgraded its diplomatic relations with Israel and opened an embassy just this past February.<\/p>\n

Some African countries that initially appeared highly supportive of Israel immediately after Hamas\u2019s October 7 attack have since taken more nuanced stances as the death toll from Israel\u2019s response mounted: Kenya, for example, initially made a strong statement of \u201csolidarity\u201d with Israel, but has since backed calls for de-escalation.<\/p>\n

Despite their UNGA votes, African governments have been somewhat more cautious when it comes to allowing mass pro-Palestinian mobilizations on their own soil.<\/p>\n

The caution reflects at least two factors: such demonstrations could be used by their domestic political opposition, and some governments hope to quietly maintain their ties with Israel.<\/p>\n

In North Africa, pro-Palestinian protests have been stronger than in sub-Saharan Africa, with even Morocco \u2014 a signatory to the Abraham Accords and a partner of increasing importance for Israel \u2014 permitting huge protests.<\/p>\n

In sub-Saharan Africa, on the other hand, even the governments of some Muslim-majority countries have been reluctant to allow protests to proceed: on October 28, for example, Senegal denied permission for the National Alliance for the Palestinian Cause in Senegal to hold a rally, although a protest did eventually go forward in Dakar.<\/p>\n

South Africa, meanwhile, has unsurprisingly seen some of the largest protests south of the Sahara, given the historical solidarities mentioned above, as well as the presence of the Economic Freedom Fighters, an outspoken party to the left of the ANC.<\/p>\n

Another significant protest theater is Nigeria, both among Sunni and Shi\u2018a Muslims. Expressions of condemnation of Israeli policy in different parts of the African continent come against the backdrop of a largely failed push by the United States to cajole African governments into taking sides on the Ukraine war.<\/p>\n

Before and after the U. S. -Africa Leaders Summit in Washington in December 2022, Biden administration officials have found even longstanding allies, such as Uganda\u2019s Yoweri Museveni, unwilling to break completely with Russia.<\/p>\n

Given the massive financial, diplomatic, and military support that Washington is currently giving to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government and the Israel Defense Forces, lining up African governments against Russia \u2014 or on other globally relevant conflicts \u2014 may become an even tougher sell.<\/p>\n

In the Global South, the idea of a \u201crules-based international order\u201d rings increasingly hollow for many governments and their publics as Western governments (with few exceptions, such as Ireland) offer virtually unqualified support to the Israel\u2019s military offensive.<\/p>\n

Those actions are in clear violation of international laws against collective punishment, the targeting of civilians, the targeting of journalists, and the cutting off of food, water, and electricity, according to major Western-based international human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and major media freedom groups such as Reporters Without Borders.<\/p>\n

In The Continent, an influential South African magazine, one prominent commentator accuses the U. S. (and Germany, among others) of deep hypocrisy when it comes to Palestine \u2014 for example, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier\u2019s public apology in Tanzania earlier this month over genocidal-level colonial repression landed awkwardly for some Africans.<\/p>\n

One Kenyan writer laments that the United Nations is toothless, the U. S. government seems \u201cblase\u0301\u201d about Palestinian deaths, and \u201cWestern media. . . appears to have become a mouthpiece for US and Israeli propaganda.
\nMeanwhile, amid both the Ukraine war and the crisis in Gaza, some Africans feel that the continent\u2019s own conflicts and tragedies (in Sudan, Ethiopia, and beyond) have been ignored, a dynamic that veteran observers have warned about as well.<\/p>\n

Washington may thus find it increasingly difficult to convince Africans that the United States represents a particular set of universal values. In Africa, the situation of Palestine evokes numerous solidarities: ethnic, religious, political, and more.<\/p>\n

Those solidarities are growing amid the present conflict, undoing some of Israel\u2019s diplomatic gains and posing long-term challenges to Washington\u2019s own diplomatic clout.<\/p>\n
