The documents released by Al Jazeera revealed that AU Chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma was the target of an assassination plot planned for October 24 2012, just 12 days after she took up office.
The secret intelligence documents obtained from the South African State Security Agency were leaked to the UAE news agency and show that spies in Addis Ababa (headquarters of the AU) were alerted to a plot by “an unnamed state” to kill a top African diplomat.
Ethiopian agents later accused Sudan of involvement in the plan to assassinate African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who had previously served as South Africa’s foreign minister, according to The Times.
Even though the assassination attempt did not take place, the documents show that South African and Ethiopian intelligence agencies were unprepared for the attack and admitted that they lacked “enough time” to “neutralise the operation” or apprehend those involved.
The documents also show how unarmed AU bodyguards had to sleep in corridors for four days with no food or water because the Union did not provide accommodation or resources for food. This, at times, resulted in them having to leave the chairperson unattended as they went to find food.
The leaked intelligence cables involve some of the world’s most high-profile intelligence agencies including the US’s CIA, the British MI6 and Israel’s Mossad. The documents span a period from 2006 until December 2013.

Was Bobbi Kristina Used for Illuminati Satanic Blood Sacrifice?

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi...

    Christen had an alarming wake-up call one day about the toll that technology was taking on her life -- and her family. "I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most. Between staring at computers during the work day and regularly gazing down at our phones, Americans spending more time with their eyes glued to their screens than ever before. According to recent estimates , ...
