49 of 54 nations attended. Did you actually read the Russia Africa Summit Statement or are you just wanting to interject the administration spin on this thread? Did you ever hear of Wagner PMC? Along with the ONLY guaranteed source of cheap, abundant food and energy for a developing Africa, Russia is able to offer security services as well. The Russians are playing the Western imperialists treatment of Africa masterfully. Something the administration will probably endorse coming out of the Africa/Russia communique, reparations for Africa.
I read the statement, it resembled a cow patty, and was as substantive.
Wagner has been busy alienating the populations of both Mail and Burkina Faso. They aren’t just brutal, but stupidly so. They are alienating the local populations so that JNIM is seen as the preferred alternative to non-Islamist dictatorships.
