International Relations: NATO Got It Wrong On Russian "Propaganda " In Africa by panafrican(op): 8:05am On Feb 17, 2023
The West Got it Wrong on Russian Propaganda in Africa.

it is surprising how these Western International relation experts got it on what they call "The Russian influence/ Propaganda in Africa".

1. Many people in remote areas in Africa would easily name U.S. cities such as Los Angels, New York, Dallas, Miami etc. but they don't know that much about Russian cities. If you are lucky you would find someone naming " Moscow ". That is it !

2. American singers are well-known in Africa
Ask an African to name a Russian singer . You will be surprised to find that out of a sample of 500 people , no-one is able to give a name.

3. Russian movies ? None. Compare that to Western movies !

4. Russian / USSR leaders: Before Putin, the only leaders people were talking about were Stalin and Lenin , moreover this was only among educated African people. You cannot compare that to John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama they are wayyyy above.

5. Language: More than 250 million people speak English in Africa. How many speak Russian? Only the very few who studied in Russia. They even do not speak Russian once they come back home.

With all that asset, it should be easier America overshadows Russia in Africa.
So what happened? Why is the leader of NATO so well-known in Africa when in the meantime Russia is more appreciated? That is the question.

West really dealt with Africa, from progroms to different types of massacre to apartheid to instigating ethnic cleansing and supporting bad leadership also totally destroying different African countries with sponsored terrorism. Libya is still Very fresh in all Africans mind. Isis in Africa, and others. I don't want to talk about their sanctions...congos won't forget millions massacred by the Belgium government and its people. Let's not talk about the discrimination against Africans nor the stealing of their resources talkless of the threat whenever they wanted to develop their own domestic industries.

Why do Africans sympathize and adore Libya so much? Libyans, that are torturing, enslaving, imprisoning and dehumanizing Nigerians in their country. They’re also killing Nigerians for their organs, performing no anesthesia while doing it.
They’re just completely barbaric, brutal and racist to our people. But most Africans, especially the woke ones don’t care. I guess they don’t care because of the particular ethnic groups it happens to.

When Gaddafi was in power or after the NATO backed thugs killed him and exterminated the Black Libyan tribes ?

No it was after he was killed. This dehumanization of Africans didn’t go on when Ghaddafi was in power. It was afterwards

That is our point as Pan-Africanists. Those who took over Libya are a bunch of racist Arabs and Europeans whose sole goal was to destroy Africa.

This is a great question. I'm curious myself. Not sure the answer will speak well about Nigerians.
