This is the stand Africa should take as Russia has always backed India throughout in History. And for those still asking what has Africa benefited
Russia supported decolonization efforts in Africa.

Namely;

Algeria: provided military, technical and material support to the National Liberation Front (NFN) to liberate Algeria from their French colonial masters during the Algeria Independence war and was the first country in the world to recognize the provisional Government of the Algerian Republic.

Angola: Russia helped stopped the Apartheid South African government from encroaching into Angola. They trained their forces in both Namibia and Tanzania.

Congo: Patrice Lumunba reached out to Russia for military assistance and they promptly responded by sending military advisors and munitions but the might of Belgian backed forces that had colonized Congo for decades was too much and Patrice Lumumba was later executed. One of the charismatic leaders Africa ever produced.

Egypt: Russia supported Gamal Abdul Nasser administration and gave scholarships to young Egyptians and among them was a future president Hosni Mubarak

Ethiopia: Helped Ethiopia regain its sovereignty after it was almost taken over by Somalia. The Somalia forces had completely taken over Ethiopia before Russia shipped in military hardwares and that was the end of the war

Guinea: Russia supported anticolonial struggle in Guinea. Gave aids to their newly formed independent government

South Africa: Russia was in the forefront of supporting the end to the apartheid regime. Funded the African National Congress.

In summary:
While the west colonized you and took away your resources, Russia supported decolonization and was applauded by Mandela.

The West never made any sacrifices for Africans

Int'l Politics is very funny and interesting. The leverage the US is exercising as a blackmail for many of the so called allies "trapped" in this anti Russian coalition is that Russia violated Ukraine's sovereignty (Which is correct).

Now, the same US is threatening the decisional sovereignty of many countries who dared to not buy it's endorsed response (Sanctions) against Russia.

What a paradox! It leads u to believe the theory of realists that when morality is at variance with a country's interests (as is sometimes is), the question of action will be decided by power and power plays. This is Russia's illegitimate fate over Ukraine. This is America's fate that opposed Cuba being USSR's proxy but support Ukraine's being NATO'S expansion.

If India is insignificant then it means Africa is non-existent because India is bigger than Africa as a continent in all ramifications.

God bless your intellectuality this is one of the few highly reasonable comment I have ever read on nairaland so far based on the current international eco-political border security invasion in Ukraine. Technically, most individual comment on this issue project a foretaste of average Nigerians IQ on International Political Debate and Issue in reference to Geo-zone countries acting diplomatically without consuming doctored information as it is presented by the media without studying the underlining psychology of interest of Bloc Power countries influencing others to take side due to their neutrality which most be respected not coerce.

Look here, there has to be a leader everywhere and in everything, especially where two or more people are involved. Even you as a man want to call the shot over your wife and when the children arrive you extend your authority to them. Does that implies you're a bully, not at all. Authority has to be maintained even among nations of the earth with strong reason and persuasion for nations involved to yield. That's how politics is played and that extend to international politics as well. Americans are not bully at all, else they would invade every nation that disagree with them. Did they do well to prevent Iraq from invading Kuwait, I believe your answer is yes. Same goes for Russias mad invasion of Afghanistan, was US indirect intervention justifiable? You know the answer, but do you call Russia a bully for invading Afghanistan? Even in cases where the US decides to stay aloof, small nations still beg for their assistance in times of war or other internal crises. In conclusion, several nations have benefited from their financial aid over the decades, directly or indirectly. It is therefore impossible to want their aid only without their advice and input.

Thats the purpose of the UN. If only the world self appointed IGP will allow her function and stand on its feet.

First, you need to purge yourself of your bias for the west.

We have no business supporting the sanctions on Russia.

For us to have a balanced and fair world we need these world powers at the opposing ends. The day America, China, and Russia becomes an ally then we’re all finished.

Secondly, as a matter of foreign policy we should simply reciprocate how any country supports our interest.

We shouldn’t pick sides because America or NATO said so.

So there’s nothing to smell. I simply gave a run down of how they have supported decolonization in Africa which the West brought upon us Africans.


Africans has fought and regained their independence long before all that you listed above

However, you have interest in how the west enslaved and colonize Africans but you don't have interest in Russia illegally invading Ukraine, a sovereign state. What is wrong is wrong no matter who's end It is coming from and their support for some part of Africa is no longer important after they annexed Crimea back in 2014 and the world at large has recognized how Russia has now seen how Russia is not practicing what they preached, except you....

I almost started to clap immediately after reading your opinion here. Splendid

Another funny angle is the rate at which Russian businessmen are being attacked. I have maintained that the integrity of business enterprise should not be intertwined with politics. Peskov the Russian spokesman mentioned recently that US and countries preaching free enterprise and capitalism are the ones using clandestine methods to seize businesses and properties of individuals all in the name of politics. Quite the irony.

Or what do you think?

Thanks for the compliments

I thought I was the only one who observed this. Adam Smith's invisible hand, the basis of the so called free market forces, has been long cut off by Western "liberals." It puts questions on the purported freedom of enterprise. But deviations and distortions are allowed. After all, even China and Russia, erstwhile apostles of Marxism-Leninism and it's application to productive resources, are now economically "liberal" with some bits of government machinations in the case of China grin

Who would have thought. China these days can be said to be the symbol of liberal enterprise(if you look past the little government interference here and there). China would never close down any foreign business in China willingly to make any political statement. This is because it values it's economic growth more. Even Putin is promising more freedom for Russian businesses in the wake of western sanctions. Strange world indeed.

Lol… You’re funny. You don’t know your history or you’re trying to be clever by half. Did Russia enslave you?

Crimea you’re crying about was part of the USSR and infact welcomed the Russia rule with all pleasure because during the collapse of the USSR nobody was consulted before they drafted them into Ukraine. And are you aware that referendum was conducted and they opted to join Russia?

Before the invasion, most of those Eastern part were under the separatist movement; Donetsk and Luhansk.

More than 40% of Ukrainian have Russian roots and the Ukrainian government supported by the Right sector with Nazis ideology began banning Russian languages in the public sectors. You think Russia is Libya or Afghanistan? I can’t have power and watch my people get persecuted for being who they’re.

Who is the world again? By direct democracy the nations refusing to sanction Russia outnumber NATO and it’s Allies.

China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Latin America, Cuba, Iran, UAE etc

In conclusion: The unipolar world championed by America and it’s Allies can not guarantee fair and balanced world. We need these worlds powers at the opposing ends to checkmate themselves.

That’s not to approve of conventional warfare, I believe war is immoral and only brings about wanton destruction of lives and property and Putin could have pursued other means to resolve these but again west was busy arming and training the right sector. And the west have no interest in diplomatic solution. They’re ready to sacrifice Ukraine as far it bleeds out Putin and that for me is worst.

Yeah, as long as Russia can continue to avoid huge loss of civilians lives. I believe one of the reasons Russia does not want to invade Kiev and other major cities anymore,is that it would result in huge loss of civilians lives. This would give their enemies weapons to use against them, when you consider the fact that they, the western media control the narratives of this war.

You can imagine the outrage, headlines like 'RUSSIAN BOMB KILLS 2000 CIVILIANS IN KIEV' would generate across the world.
Putin is aware that's what the US and their allies want him to do, that's why they continue to taunt him that he has not taken any major city.

The invasion of Ukraine in itself is bad enough, I don't think Putin wants to cause more problems for Russia, by invading Kiev. He can find a way to justify what he's doing in Donbas, but their can never be any justification for invading Kiev.

That's a trap I'm not sure he'll fall into, because at the point where you have bombs killing like 2000 civilians in Kiev, even countries that are neutral now will have no choice than to distance them self from Russia.

Putin may be anything they call him, but he's nobody's fool.

oga,stop saying what you don't know. queen Catherine the great annexed Crimea and the reason is because of it's benefit of the deep sea port and easy access to the black sea.it is obvious that that is the main reason why there are a lot of Russian speaking people in that part of the country. The friendship agreement sign In Minsk back in 1997 was ended by the past Ukraine President in 2018 after Russia in it's arrogated power annexed Ukraine in 2014.

Moreover, you saying that the Russians did not enslave Africans is obvious to some extent but you ignoring the fact that Russia is wrong though with what they are doing in Ukraine is the height of partisanship in modern civilization and should be avoided at all cost

I won't respond to you again. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Still trying to be clever by half. What led to the 2014 crisis? America and it's Allies supported the right sector to stage coup that ousted a democratically elected President and install a puppet because Yanukovich refused trade deals with the west. NATO and America started the war in Ukraine. Between 2014 and 2021 America had sent $1.5Billion worth of military hardwares to Ukraine and was pushing to place nuclear missiles in Ukraine which will be 10mins flight time to Moscow. If you're not partisan just tell me one country that will tolerate this.


Russia have every right to lay claim to Crimea and that's a fact. For the current Crisis, the Ukrainian government was reckless. Zelensky at one point was bold to pursue nuclear program and at same time persecuting indigenous Russians by banning Russian language in public sector while pushing to join NATO.

None of the western countries will tolerate any of this.

And when did your modern civilization start because the last time I checked America has bombarded almost every country in the world throughout in history.

You all crying over Ukraine are all hypocrites. Did you cry when your fellow Africans in Libya were bombarded by NATO? Or what was the relationship with NATO and Libya aside from the fact that Gaddafi wanted stronger Economic and military sovereignty for Africans.
