African leaders are leaving two days of meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin with little to show in response to their requests to resume a deal that kept grain flowing from Ukraine and to find a way to end the war there.
During a press conference Saturday, Putin said terminating the grain deal this month caused a rise in grain prices that benefits Russian companies, and Moscow would share some of those revenues with the “poorest nations.”
Putin also said Russia would analyze the African leaders’ peace proposal for Ukraine.

The Chairman of the African Union and President of Comoros, Azali Assoumani, made it clear, in a joint press conference with Putin, following the Russia-Africa Summit that a multipolar world means more than Russia’s definition of it.
Assoumani said: “We inhabit the same world and want Africa to become part of decision-making organisations. We live in a multipolar world. Russia will invest in Africa but this does not mean that other countries won’t come to us. We will create conditions for positive competition. We won’t have just one and only partner – we will have many partners. I think it would be even better for us to have two or three partners because they will attract other partners.”

That is not good. I am considering the US and Europe’s Climate Policy is racist in since cuts food supplies which will starvation in the 3rd world.
I consider Africans responsible for growing their own food.
The Idiot with the Beret looks very angry ,LOL
You kinda sorta missed my poke at left wing policies. ; )
I did. Consuming breakfast and coffee now.
:)
Talking with Putin is pointless.
Russia can have peace today. They can end their stupid war and go home.
They are home.
Their Food Policies will not do the First and Second Worlds any good either. Unless you enjoy eating crickets, roaches, worms, and spiders while they dine on steak and ribs. They fully intend to starve you and me to death, too. It saves bullets and gas. These are mean, bad, wicked, evil people. And powerful.
Where all the white women? This looks like a scene from Blazing Saddles. Come to think of it, the whole world looks like a satire.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine will be allowed to end this WWIII. There’s only one person who could possibly end this war and that is President Trump who leads in the polls right now. The demonic world elite will fight tooth and nail to prevent their plan from being disrupted.
“I consider Africans responsible for growing their own food.”
The problem with globalization and the sudden modernization of the entire world is food. Egypt, for example, used to grow more of its own wheat. But wheat is not a value-add crop. It’s dirt cheap because if you have millions of acres, as does Ukraine and Russia, then you can buy machines the size of two tractor trailers to do the work. But in the case of Egypt none of the fields are large enough to make that purchase of those machines financially viable. Egypt has therefor switched to more value-add crops that take less space and produce a higher value...oranges, for one.
The whole world has done that. Most of Africa has pretty poor soil that’s deficient in nutrients. Therefore, they import fertilizers from...Ukraine and Russia. So, double whammy for the poor countries of Africa and the Middle East.
What you’re suggesting is autarchy. Autarchy is where every country is entirely self-sufficient. Countries trying to do that are North Korea and Cuba; two very poor countries.
The nature of the interconnected world today is that only the United States and possibly some small well-located countries like Argentina can possibly produce all of their own food requirements. This isn’t because poor countries were poorly run. It’s because they integrated into the global world so generously provided by the US Navy. The alternative was much lower growth.
Certainly couldn’t expect to see Joe Biden standing among those men on such an occasion. America last under this corrupt atheistic neopagan fascist administration.
Rhodesia was capable of feeding most of Africa.
Everyone knows what the real problem is.
All the West has done for Africa is grow its ignorant population.
And they want our countries.
How are South Africa and Rhodesia doing?
Coming to a country near you…
Yes, you are correct. But those aren’t problems the US, or anyone else can provide a solution for. Allowing starvation in Africa will cause millions of Africans to migrate, first to Mexico and then to the United States. (Or, to Europe.) I’d rather feed them over there. It’s not racism. It’s just that people from the same culture are not likely to kill each other as much as people from “diverse” cultures are. Keep us over here and them over there and there will be many fewer murders here. Diversity is the worst thing that ever happened to any culture. If Diversity was good the Austrian Empire would be a major power in Europe.
Rather misleading headline
The 49 African countries left with $23 Billion in debt written off by Russia, and agreements to deliver free grain (25,000-50,000 tons to about 6 countries)…using alt delivery means than the failed “grain deal corridor”
There also were some back-channel military deliveries agreed, based on comments. Plus diplomatic gains for Russia.
No they didn’t “ end the war” ( that’s up to Biden)
No they didn’t reverse the end of the Black Sea grain shipping arrangement brokered by Turkey, which betrayed Russia in multiple ways
It’s fascinating to consider that Africa was once renowned as the world’s breadbasket. Even today, Africa holds immense agricultural potential, but there are various challenges (political, black rasist, muslin wars, war lords) that must be tackled to fully tap into and maximize its agricultural resources.
