WASHINGTON – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the J Street 2021 National Conference on Sunday that moving away from a two-state solution would lead to a de facto apartheid one-state solution, calling this something neither the Palestinians nor the world would accept.

Abbas told J Street that the Palestinians support a two-state solution based on pre-June 1967 borders based on international law, creating an independent and sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital a demand the U.S. President Joe Biden administration has not publicly supported to date.

African Alliance Congress (AAC) has disowned it Presidential candidate in the 2019 election Mr Omoyele Sowore over his occupy Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) protest, saying that Sowore is impersonating its National Chairman, Dr. Leonard Nzenwa, and as such should be arrested.
Sowore had on Monday led a group to occupy INEC in Abuja, an action that met a stiff opposition by members of AAC led by Dr. Leonard Nzenwa.
The Sowore group is seeking recognition as original owners of the party whereas INEC has already recognised the Nzenwa-led group.
Describing Sowore as an impostor that should be arrested, AAC said that they were not against him protest, but he should not use the party’s platform to do his personal business because he had been expelled from AAC.
