Quoted by Eil D’Afrique, Sata told the gathering that Africa had no gun factory that fuels conflict and that Europe was responsible for conflicts on the continent because weapons used in conflicts are manufactured in Western countries. 
Akinukuliwa na Eil D’Afrique, Sata aliuambia mkutano huo kuwa Afrika haikuwa na kiwanda cha silaha zinazochochea migogoro na kwamba Ulaya inahusika moja kwa moja na migogoro inayotokea barani humu kwa sababu silaha zinazotumika kwenye migogoro zimezalishwa kwenye viwanda vilivyoko kwenye nchi za Magharibi.
