I remember the Putin-Africa gathering. He treated the Africans as respected equals while later at similar confab in Washington, Biden people looked at the African representatives dismissively and treated them with condescension. Just as the Niger president said.
Yep. Putin didn’t put any anti traditional Africa woke strings on his relations with those countries either.
Btw—little known fact here in the US but well known among African leadership.
The CIA’s documents about the Lumumba assassination in the Congo in 1961 remain classified.
The Africans know who did it.
