On 19 and 20 March, some 40 African delegations travelled to Moscow ahead of the Russia-Africa summit scheduled for July in St Petersburg, to discuss cooperation and the fight against the influence of “former colonial powers”.
There is but one step between Vladimir Putin’s office and the Duma in central Moscow. It was at the Russian parliament’s headquarters, just a few metres from the Kremlin, that the conference “Russia-Africa in a multipolar world” was held from 19-20 March, the second of its kind devoted to strengthening cooperation between African and Russian parliamentarians.
The meeting came ahead of the next Africa-Russia summit, to be held in St. Petersburg at the end of July, four years after the Sochi summit.
On Monday 20 March, Vladimir Putin spoke at the conference, between two meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is on an official three-day visit to Russia. The Russian president insisted on the need to cooperate more with African countries – one of the “priorities” of his foreign policy, before announcing the free delivery of grain to the continent if the food agreement between Russia and Ukraine is not renewed. He also said that African soldiers from some 20 countries were currently being trained in Russia.
Among the audience were many African parliamentarians. The president of Mali’s Conseil national de la transition (CNT), Colonel Malick Diaw, a member of the ruling junta in Bamako, which has made Russia its new ally, denounced the “perpetuation [of] domination” by “former colonial powers”. Ousmane Bougouma of Burkina Faso, president of l’Assemblée législative de la transition (TLA), also attended the conference, as did the vice-president of Chad’s CNT Malloum Yoboïdé Djeraki and the president of Guinea’s CNT Dansa Kourouma.

LOL. Go ahead. Try to mine it. Put $1 billion into exploration, analysis, capital equipment. Then try to export the gold and keep the US Dollars, or Euros you earn.
Not all Africa is the same. A lot of gold is now coming from places like Ghana, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast. But governmental/political risk is HUGE in these places.
I'll bet they were illegals. They use student visas to get into China. Looking for any opportunity for $$ possible. Even theft.
nice job globohomos! Your singular focus on grooming children and protecting the deep states money laundering in Ukraine has turned an entire continent into the arms of Russia and China!

Don’t forget India, all of South America, the MiddleEast, The Brics, and more….
About 65 percent plus of the world’s population. The world has had enough of US hegemony….welcome the new Sheriff’s, China and Russia.
Thanks Joe, you botch everything you touch.
Meet the new colonial powers, same as the old colonial powers.
Imagine being an Asian diplomat and then getting assigned to one of their embassies in Africa.
Anwar Sadat was smart. He kicked the Soviets out after they built the Aswan Dam. Egypt is not really Africa or is it?
Then there’s Julius Nyere. Chicoms built him a railroad and he kicked them out. Gotta love it. If they’re going to get involved in business deals wouldn’t it make sense to deal with the West?
Cuba fought in Angola. Reagan would have done to them what he did in Nicaragua and Afghanistan but Ford/Carter were in charge.
Let the African nations come to us.
The Federation of Russia are not Soviets, nor communists. Times have changed.
Come on. You mean they’re more likable? A leopard cannot change it’s spots.
