What can Russia offer to Africa? | Inside Story

- African leaders are in Russia for an economic forum hosted by President Vladimir Putin.
Moscow says it wants to bring Africa closer, but in a polarized world after the war in Ukraine, that isn't an easy task.
The collapse of the Black Sea deal on Ukrainian grain exports is causing concern in Africa about rising food prices and shortages.
So can Putin reassure Africans he is a reliable partner?
And do African countries risk being caught in the middle of the crisis between Russia and the West?
Presenter: Cyril Vanier
Guests:
Victor Olevich - Lead Expert at the think-tank, Center for Actual Politics.
Eric Acha - Executive Director of the African Policy Forum.
Abdiwahab Sheikh Abdisamad - Chairman of the Horn of Africa Institute for Strategic Studies.

The media treats Africa as a country. " African nations depends on grains fron the Black Sea." There are 55 African countries if you include Western Sahara. How many depend on grains from Ukraine and Russia? . West Africans eat rice, cassava, yams, and corn. Most of the Ukraine grain goes to Europe and the Middle East, not African, but the media kepps saying BS.
I understand about the media portrayed Africa as a country than a continent well there are 54 countries in Africa each country has it’s own media out let most of this media out let they serve the government not the people so who is to blame here? BTW Africa is the second largest continent in the world!
Exactly my dear well said , we love sadam rice
Not the media but the white media
@@MissDallas262
If Africa is not one country then why did 54 leaders go when only one man call them
Well said, as a West African, I was wondering. Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 🇸🇱🇸🇱
Thank u all ❤❤❤ I’m in love, very happy to work on summit with delegations from Republic South Africa & Ethiopia. U are always in my heart, waiting to see u again. I never seen my president Putin, but I see the President Cyril Ramaphosa and beautiful lady Madame Naledi Pandor😊
Thank u for invitation to visit South Africa❤❤❤
So beautiful AMAZING...

Good luck for all of them 🇷🇺 and Africans.
On Thursday, the president said Russia would provide hard-pressed countries on the continent with free grain. Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somali, the Central African Republic, and Eritrea will each receive between 25,000 and 50,000 tons of grain, while Moscow will cover the delivery costs of the shipments.
Where/when'd he say that?
Why now? Free or stolen grain?
@@luckydi16free grain and Russia already gave them free grain a few months ago they also canceled 23bn that African owned them but don't take my word for it you should read the transcript of the 2 days meeting yourself that way you can make up your own mind without anyone telling you what to think
Hahahaha for years the UN food program with it's biggest donor being the USA has been dishing out free food to Africa. Russian contribution to the UN has been about nothing.The US gave close to 50% of the total, making it the top donor, followed by the UK, Canada, Germany, and Saudi Arabia, All of a sudden Russia gives a donation and people are in awe. This is too funny.🤣
Moscow has forgiven $23 billion in African debt
That is what is encouraging mismanagement and corruption.
@dr.BigGut7373 and this fools think there are free things in this world?
@@johnosumba1980 Russia replace France
Russia has plenty of things to offer for Africa. One key sector is the nuclear energy which Russia dominates, and which Africa needs.
Yeah!! My mum gonna buy me one n nal
Do you see any African country that can manage nuclear energy? Will all those corrupt and incompetent leadership we have in Africa.
You're wrong Russia give his holy Russia girls to African that why African love Russia so much because Russia girls more holy and more white than eroupe girls and Russia always protect his virgin for African
Nuclear on African nations hands will be like grande in monkey's hands. The warring nations would destroy each other in one go
You must be high if you believe that. Russia has been rejected by the world. Only North Korea, Iran and whichever African fools fall for their trick. Putin sees you as firewood.
Russia isn't isolated. Russia simply doesn't want to have anything common with the USA and its allies (some of the west countries have to be allies), they are not reliable, they are liars and warmongers. The world is not the USA and the west only. There are many more countries to rely on and have good relationships with.
Lots of respect from Russia, the Crimea ❤❤❤
not isolated... but your president can't leave his country?
@@mlrk3y858 but all other Russian people can😁 Putin does whatever he wants. If he wants, he may fly to the moon. It's only his decision.
@@mlrk3y858 same with Obama and bush.
They to can't leave America or they will be killed let alone arrested for wars in libya, Iraq, syria, Afghanistan and the rest.
Well if we gauge liars, Putin lied to African countries in the last summit in 2019. Made promises and did not fulfil them. So I am skeptical about the promises he made even this time. But he might actually do it now that he is desperate because other western countries are not working with him because he is attacking Ukraine. Yet to be seen if he will keep his word. But he should remember, Africans are not stupid!!
Russia does evidently not have anything in common with Ukraine and almost all other former states in the Soviet Union. They all say "we are not Ukraine"...
America 🇺🇸 and the west Europe tried to conquer them 😢I hope Russia 🇷🇺 will treat them kindly ❤
When has Rssuia ever treated anyone kindly?! 🤪

@@Tizzle001 how exactly?
@@sectorBA Russia was on of the biggest trading partners to Germany Russia was one of the biggest reasons why Germany had such a good economy their political relationship was very good besides some backstabbing from both sides but they always held up to their business deals but im sure you can see it yourself because of the sanctions and refusing to do business with Russia Germany is in a recession steel company's are closing amongst countless other companies political parties are falling apart
@@Tizzle001 that does not mean “Russia was treating Getmany kindly” wtf haha. That just means they had regular trade. Like any other two countries buying and selling stuff. Russia profitted a lot also from Germany and Europe as we were buying lots of stuff from them. Its not Europe’s fault Russia decided to invade another sovereign European country 🤷🏻♂️
What Russia can offer to African countries ?? : the things US and former Colonialist countries never offer: a decent business and new style of life....
hahaha ya ok. They offer lies and destruction.
You're stupa go a 10:30 t hr der. Putin offered 750000 tonnes of wheat to Burkina and Zimbabwe. America and West give every month millions of tonnes to 60m refugees all over the world. It's drop of water of Russian aids to Africa

Let’s hope. The west has bruised us so much. We real need a new beginnings

Russian has always been a traditional friend of Africa in the fight against imperialism and colonization. Thank you Russia
It does not matter what those who want to control the world say about Russia. Russia never killed any African leader, Russia never caused a civil war in any African country so they could be looting the resources. Russia never stole from Africa. Russia supported in their struggle against imperialism and European colonization. Russia dealt with Africa honestly as opposed to those with empty talk about democracy buy do the opposite in regard to self determination. The hypocrisy is currently on another level. Is it not the same NATO that bombed Serbia. Is it not the same NATO that destroyed Libya. Is it not the same NATO that was testing weapon systems in Afghanistan. The propaganda may be effective but the rest of the word has not forgotten some of these crimes.
I think your panelist in Luxembourg missed the point. Just recently the president of Kenya hinted that in order for Africa to speak with one voice, fewer presidents should travel to such events and empowering the AU and a handful number of presidents representing their counterparts was the best going forward. Now to the question of Russia being able to deliver or not, they have not choice but to deliver because thus is as existential a matter to Russia as it is to Africa. The only difference in the scenario is that Russia is not afraid or ashamed to consider itself an equal partner , something Western nations have so far been able to do. The Ukraine war has created an opportunity for African states and other states in similar situation, to detach themselves from the grips of Western powers and perhaps offer their citizen the real independence their fathers, mothers , brothers and sisters have fought and lost their lives for since the early or colonisation and the slave trade.
Lol
...and we all see how much Africa is 'prospering' under the 'friendship' of Russia (and China)
@silviadunderdale9400 At least the Russians have a country, people and borders of their own. Unlike the UK. St Petersburg is Russian and Grozny is Chechen, whereas London resembles a cross between Pakistan and the Congo. No one respects Brits. Your cities are literally orc central.
Russia is not a colonizer
Check with the Finns, Ests, Lithuanians, Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, Hungarians, Moldovans, Romanians, Bulgarians, Belarussians, Georgians, Azeri, Armenians, Kazachs, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, Mongols, Afghans, and (last but not least) Ukrainians. You might be in for a surprize.
Yeah Sure in your dreams. Last colonizer remaining and africans not check it.
The war in ukraine is a colonizing war.
Russia doesn’t look so isolated to me.
Russia can offer Trade, business, development, research, security, and political stability which will be a massive leap forward in helping to end 3rd world poverty in Africa ❤️🔥👊
Russia could not even offer a safe hotel room to the participants in Sct. Petersburg. Some had things stolen from their rooms...
Russia can, t offer anything.
Give Russia a chance but stay vigilant and say NO when u need to !!! Best of luck, African nations 🥰🌍🇷🇺🤗
"Give Russia a chance"
America did. We saved them twice. The we gave them Microsoft companies, Exxon Mobile, Apple, IBM, McDonald's, Coke, Levi's, Nike.... and what did the stupid Orcs do? They bit the hand that feeds them because they are stupid and arrogant.
Russia is nothing and never has been. A third world country with nukes that thinks it is a world power, its not. It is a gas station that produces grain with a virus. China will only buy the amount of grain from Russia that China can decontaminate. Africa has no facilities to decontaminate that grain.
Will be a good story to watch. Will Russia backstab Africa? Or will Africa backstab Russia? I will watch on how this is going to unfold ✌️ I will get the popcorn
It's not that easy. Niger's government said no to Russia. Now they are held captive by a Junta with pockets full of Russian money and cooperating with Wagner.
@@vennemans9113 African countries can and should make deals with whoever they want, what benefits has west brought to Africa?
@@vennemans9113russia has always worked with Africa,even before Gadaffi’s death
With the vast natural resources of Africa I can’t for the life of me understand why they can’t help themselves instead of relying on other countries? I will like in my lifetime to see the African continent prosperous, but they are ok with being colonized again and again.
putin is the only colonizer left... though xi would like to join the club
Technology
African people are stronger in many cases and smart thinkers very expressive in our languages we don’t need much from the world just your tech you have used Africa to get to we’re you are ( USA Europe ) most you a greedy imperialist though don’t want Africa to catch up but we will
Colonising Africa was a big mistake for Europe now you’ll never be separated from us in history and future will catch up and will see them
@@SCM793it’s time Africa got to be independent and stop looking for handouts. Being dependent on other countries”colonizers” make you beholden to said colonizers. At first it was the Europeans then the Chinese and now the Russians. Africa it seems will never learn. It’s as if the slave trade wasn’t a thing. History repeating.
@@vamps4me it’s business not colonial even country in this world has been taking over at some point in history those were africas times it wouldn’t happen again because Africa deals with Russia and china for defence and development and can also deal with the west for education and exports since west don’t want to build in Africa no no they want to see it drained of it’s abandant resources first but will see on that w
All African countries were represented either through foreign ministers or other top diplomats at the summit even though only 17 leaders attended.
Yeah they are really focusing on that only 17 attended. Also, see the images they chose to show of Africa just in this video. They always show the worst images possible.
Eric speaking from Luxembourg took a position to protect his visa
😃 😃 you're rights
I mean their puppets are plain as day...from the slavery, apartheid and colonial times to now, sold out their fellow brethren for pats on the head from massta.
They even set the stage for him by having him debate against a nobody who can barely speak English due to it not being his native or official language.
They could get more erudite speakers like PLO etc but they know they would demolish their fantasy quite eloquently. This happens quite regularly...it's hilarious. And i say this as a Norwegian.
What has the USA, UK, Germany and EU countries offered to Africa since the 15, November, Berlin Conference of 1884-2023?
Loans with huge interest rates 😅
The World Food Program has given more food to Africa than any organization or country
@@kagolobyadalton5773Yeah and china and russia, as a colonizer works different ?
Tell our millions of people living there to go to Russia and see
You are perfectly true
“Move the needle” seems a favorite statement of the host. Good sir, it’s a multipolar world. Africa will do what makes sense for Africa. Africa should choose her friends. The Ukraine War is not an African War. It’s a NATO- Russia War.
Please explain how Russia's terrorism is a russia- NATO war when NATO is not in this war? Russia invaded Ukraine and Ukraine is defending itself...
These panelists don't know that 98% of African countries were represented in the summit. I remember William Ruto of Kenya said Africa would now be represented be a select body from the African union, and that's what happened.
As a matter of fact you are wrong. In 2019, 47 African countries attended the summit in St Petersburg. This year the number is 17.
They know they just choose to misinform! 49 High level delegations out of the 54 countries on the continent attended.
Of which 17 were led by their Presidents (Heads of State), 7 Prime ministers (Heads of Government), 5 Deputy Prime ministers and Vice Presidents, 10 Foreign Minsters (Foreign Secretaries/secretaries of state) and 10 Defence ministers, Minerals and Mining, Speakers of Parliament etc. Only 5 countries completely avoided the event.
The most prominent presidential attendees being the President of South Africa and Egypt, which are two of the largest African economies. Nigeria was also represented by its deputy president, together they account for the bulk of the continents GDP. Being the top three, Ethiopia which is 7th also sent its Prime minister.
This is after immense pressure and threat of sanctions etc was put on all of them.
So this Aljazeera report doesn't give an accurate picture, it's really strange they have to lie like this.
Than you ,for reminding those BIAS fools not doing g their jobs properly and bri gi g all yhe facts to bear, be truthful, but the are trying g the spin the reality, in an opposite direction, well said bro ,you're not sleeping.
@@alexvisser4542you are wrong that was 2019 by then the African Union was not organised .she is write because president Ruti is actually said Africa will be now represented! And this was from 2023…
When and where 98% of Africa???? Speak for your own country.
It moves the needle by doing exactly what the gentleman told you. Simple put, Africa is on the side of Russia - regardless of how many leaders that are in attendance
Russia, predominantly orthodox Christian is NOT barbarian like western countries and is therefore welcome in Africa. Africans have had enough of the western civilization and its just a matter of time Africans will show their real colours.
if you have enough of our civilisation is very good so, please please please stop emigrating to our countries or, at least, go to Russia ... we too hav had enough of you coming
A handfill of grain for tonns of diamonds and votes in UN😂
😅😆
So, what better the West is offering to Africa than poverty
Unlike the terrorism the west has imposed on the continents, 😂😂😂😂.......do you know how many revolutionary leaders nato has killed? You are not informed and buffoons are better than you😂😂
If that is how you think then you are the most useless idiot in the planet.
@@targetx1733 the reason African's life span has increased is because of the West's hospitals and infrastructure. The West has massively helped Africa. All putin has done is sent his mercenaries to murder African civilians and steal their mines in exchange for forcing dictators on them
IT is what West did to Africa for nearly 14 00 years ( From slavery, to colonisation and now neo colonisation). France maintain his hands on Africa countries for vote in UN. and take all resources. e.g : Niger does not have electricity ( continuisly) but it is the country which provide Uranium to France to maintain it is 48 central nuclear for electricity. Enough is enough . Africa is looking for alternative now. Let them try. maybe could succed.
I still can't imagine how one country will call a whole continent 😢😢😢😢
And this Eric is in Luxembourg (Europe)
Contrary to Eric Acha's suggestion, Africa is not in the same situation as it was during the Cold War, as we are now in a more multipolar world with power plays between Russia and the "West," as well as China and the "West." Those who have grown tired of "Western" tyranny may explore a friendship with Russia, China, or both; India may be another choice in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, if AfCFTA thrives, it can serve as yet another support group for Africa but one that lies within.
You need to wake up if you consider AfCFTA a support group 😂. I know it's a weekend but this is not a bar. Comment something sensible the comments are read internationally.
@@BS-kl9yf
Chump, "support group" was a tacit reference to the gigantic economic bloc that the continent could fall back on. Grow a nerve...in your head.
@@Lamin_G as if you have any nerve in your head. Why did we draft vision 2063 if you still want to bootlick other countries. We can't build our own because of people with slave mindsets of believing in whites. How many breakthroughs has AU had to strike deals that would make Africans unit? You still find begging for grains and funds better?
@@BS-kl9yf
Sure, buddy, I've got nerveS in my head; I'd describe what they look like to you, but you don't have one -- so, it would be a futile undertaking. Who are "we" here; you aren't suggesting for a minute that you see yourself as an African? If you had a single nerve in that empty canister you call a "head," you could have made a distinction between "commerce" and "bootlicking." Name a single continent today that doesn't engage in commerce with the outside world! I'd address the nonsense about grains & funds, but I've made it a policy to not entertain non-sequiturs.
Problem with Acha's reasoning, all in all...
As long as they slightly moving away from Europe and USA that is what matters to us. Africans we support our African leaders. We are happy for the summit
Which leader? Africa doesn’t have leadership but a bunch of morons. How come one country like Russia, China, Turkey and any EU member can get all the African morons and they will attend otherwise they will be starving to death. Africa has 12 months sunshine but can’t grow wheat 🌾? Stupid
Who are the "we"?
Another troll with nothing to offer but hollow statements
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@rinato7757 "we" is a bunch of fascist troll farmers in st-petersburg
I don't really know who Aljazeera correspondent is, that is giving them is fake news. 50 heads of State from Africa attended the summit, NOT 17. Please try to be honest with me the viewers.😂😂😂😂
49 large high level delegations, not all were heads of state though.
Of which 17 were led by their Presidents (Heads of State), 7 Prime ministers (Heads of Government), 5 Deputy Prime ministers and Vice Presidents, 10 Foreign Minsters (Foreign Secretaries/secretaries of state) and 10 Defence ministers, Minerals and Mining, Speakers of Parliament etc. Only 5 countries completely avoided the event.
There were over 2,000 total delegates from these 49 countries.
i understand where you are coming from, but everyone that went for the summit went to represent their country, and they did not go on their personal business. The reason why i come in with this comment was due to how the report is presenting the issue as if no one was there. You these MSM give news to us now@@MuantanamoMobile
thank you pro.abdiwahab for your representing for africa in this panel,africa is focused with development NoT lgptq
Africa need to stop depending on other people for food an everything else we can harnest our own resources an sell to outside market and stop letting other nations stealing out stuff.

Ok what's is the difference between slave master and colonialist?
@@epacho12dbrown53 Thank you. Some people cannot use their brains.
kind of the same though... both are/were racist evil dictatorships and both exploit(ed) Africa. Wagner has stolen so many mines in Africa as payment for forcing dictators on African democracies.

The headline says what can Russia offered to Africa Russia offers free and fair trade Russia offers partnership not dominici
that doesn't mean anything as for partnerships when he is starving them and has his mercenaries murder them and stealing their mines
The African leaders that didn't attend didn't because of western pressure, not necessarily because they don't want to be there.
Yes, they were threatened that there will be consequences if they attend the summit.
Yeah because they SOOOOO wanted to be there. I can't believe that's what you're suggesting. They want to Russia to stop destroying grain, as it causes prices to go up. People on $2 a day can't afford more expensive food
I am happy Nigeria did not attend that summit of Russia trying to hoodwink African leaders. Russia is one country and should not hold summit with entire Africa. Russia has nothing to offer Nigeria. We don't need Russia for food as other weak countries without direction do.
I wonder if these are the African countries that don’t care about the “free” world or are these countries that the “free” world has given up on?
African states were threatened with sanctions by the US government. Even the Zambian minister said it during the interviews in Russia yesterday
Biggest questions are WHAT has Afrikan Continent endlessly been supplying to the entire World? What are France, Brits and others taking or $tea|ing from Afrika ever since??
To imply that 49 or more countries from Africa sending representatives to the Russia Africa summit is not a success because 17 presidents attending is not enough is a seriously insulting, racist and colonialist view of what Africa and Russia feel is a summit that has been, not just an amazingly great success, but an event that has gone far deeper on an emotional level than any other summit before in which nations talked freely of their shared history and shared struggle against the aggression of the countries of former colonial powers and their friends for which Africa and Russia have both paid a heavy price in human lives, from slavery to colonialism and world war 2. The relationship between Russia and Africa has always been meaningful, respectful and sincere and whether former colonial powers like it or not this summit has made it even stronger Peace and love
The European will smuggle the grain from poorer African countries😢. Cash is king
Its not a secret that the African Leaders agreed earlier this year at their own Organisation of African Union meeting that going forward, especially after the last meeting with the US President, they would not all go for any Summit called by any third party but would be represented by a few. So, it seems some journalists would rather ignore that fact and shout that some African leaders decided not to attend the current Africa Summit in St Petersburgh for political reasons. Simply not true, it is just that times have changed and this was a very positve move.
Well, they still ain't coming over here pal!
Russia didn't keep her promises to her closest nation in the world, Ukraine, what do you think they care about some countries in Africa.
They help many countries in Africa.
it's very dangerous for the uninformed to inform.
@@epacho12dbrown53 not such thing as help from Russia, only interests
Ukraine refused to keep the Minsk Agreements which should have stopped this war eight years ago but instead it was rejected by the Ukraine authorities of Ukraine supported by the Western elite. Wake up!
Well that's not true. Go back to 2014 when the conflict started. It's the comedian Z" who betrayed Russia and his own country. By the time Russia went into operation Ukraine had crossed the line
What does the West offer? Lgbtq ?
Yes. Exactly. That is what the West offer.
😂 Russia and Wagner can offer Africa guards for natural resources because, like in Sudan, those gold and diamond mines don't watch themselves.
yah, and by "guard" it means stealing the mines in exchange of propping up horrible dictators and murdering their civilians for them
@synthsun7662 you have anything better to say.
Such a pity you walk around with that brain it could be used better as a science project
All I hear is Africa being manipulated yet again. Keep the allies but African countries need to be self sufficient. We always need help and rescuing from someone somewhere when we have EVERYTHING here.
Free grain and that’s about it. There were more black people at this summit than the entire rest of the country and yet Russian claims to like Africans. 😂
You clueless, Russia never took part in african slavery so I don't expect the country to be full of Black people like the US(which was built on slavery).
Mr Putin is so awesome!!!!! Go Russia 🇷🇺❤️💪🏻
Hahahaha for years the UN food program with it's biggest donor being the USA has been dishing out free food to Africa.

Yes but all the governments from the 2019 forum were represented this year, either by their leaders or senior ministers. No problem considering all African countries were and still are under immense pressure and threats from the West. In regards to the "Grain deal", the West had not held up their part in this deal. The West were meant to allow Russian ships to ship grain and fertilizers around the world, those Western ports Russian ships that were docked in had been seized by those Western countries. This is not even including the military arms being slipped into Ukraine on some of these ships.
Russia could offer some respect by not bombing grain depos weeks after the African delegation voiced grain prices as their main concern
The irony is that we like to beg. We have land but care about ukraine grain. Take advantage and grow and export grain. Come on, Africa. At least puttin promosed to improve agribusiness in the continent
Because of western
Where are you living? How come you do not know that the grain deal expired in 17th July 2023. Russia did not disrupt the grain deal Ukrain did. Ukraine used the cover of the ships coming and going ffrom the Ukrainian ports to launch an attack with a sea surface drone on to the Kerch bridge that connect Russia and Crimea which belongs to Russia and which Russia took back. Russia is defending itself from a proxi war. This war is being sponsord by US. The US is using Ukrain to fight Russia. There is no respect to show when another very far away country is using your stupid neighbour to destroy you.
The grain deal in one side was for Ukraine to be allowed by Russia to export its grain and the other side for Russia to be allowed by the West to export its fertilizers and its grain by transaction through the international monetary transaction system or SWIFT. The West never delivered on its part. But still you expect Russia to show respect when the West is not showing any respect.
@@momodoukebbeh swift is not needed to sell fertilizers and grain. And your fascist dwarf putin is the one that started the war, destroyed Ukraine's exports of grain. It's also putin that has his mercenaries prop up dictators in Africa by murdering their civilians, in exchange for the mercenaries stealing the mines.
Russia is Africa’s friend, Russia has never ever colonized Africa. I love Russia. God bless Russia. May all the colonizers rot in hellfire
No to hegemony and YES to multipolar world!!! Hint to the wise is quite sufficient.....small amount of grain? And you didn't mention the debt and free grain!!
💯
Free grain does not exist. Someone pays. And in this case its blood from innocent Ukrainian people who died while defending their country. Your free grain is colored red.
Yeah because a multipolar world is always so stable....like the WW1 era....
To those we think Russia is isolated? From who exactly and would that be considered isolation
Africa is awake now, our interests are priority.
Putin running to the black ppl for help that's funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are we not people. Part of the reason why we love Russians is the fact that they treat us equally. You need to be liberated from white supremacy mentality, that is what we are doing here in South Africa 🇿🇦 with the minority European settlers who have the same belief they are superior to all races
If you want to capture an African mind... Throw the word "FREE" in a contract..... Africa will sing praises and exhault your name.... Who bewitched us Africa!
Rusdia is making more money than the country you are work8ng for .
Before Russias illegal invasion of Ukraine, Russia had an economy size equal to South Korea or Spain, but much more people and inequality which is why Russia is still categorised as a developing country.
Who knows how much Russias economy has shrunk since the start of the war. Most economic data is a secret now for propaganda purposes
Lots of Russian fertilizer in the Ukraine fields.
Russia is a good friend of Africa and does not interfere with their internal affairs.
😂 you will see soon when all your gold and diamonds worth trillions will vanish for some bag of grains.
Very true
By that U mean... Loots mineral wealth with help of junta
Like Wagner in sahel . U sound stupid
Russia has been supporting terrorist in Africa for a very long time. Now Russia's Wagner is in a number of African countries. You have been sleeping.
The war from NATO against Russia in Crimean former port of Sebastopol exportations is making every export very difficult !It’s a miracle that the US do not lose their temper with their superiority power!
Look what it can offer Ukraine who are their ''brothers'' and imagine what it could offer Africa .
Why would Russia attack Africa?
Only the west and USA that is a treat to the whole continent of Africa
Cough cough 😷

@@TheDukens90 Years back I've heard Russian officials and celebrities say Russia would never attack Ukraine and here we are. Plus, it doesn't need to attack Africa , just get involved into politics, corrupt governments and milk these countries of their resources, just like others did before.

How dumb is that ?

Peace is what Russia can offer without being colonized
He can offer Africa a lot
Communism destroyed Africa and democracy colonized it so Africa needs its own model of governance
What can Russia offer to Africa???? Are you saying Africans have nothing to offer Russia?

No country can Isolate Russia. It is just lies and propagandas.
Don't forget desperate. It's not a coincidence that Russia is offering free grain and discounted oil at this time in history.
Russia needs browny points from people that cannot afford to say no to free gifts
Low attendance! Due to the enormous pressure from the Collective West to African Countries Presidents not to go to St Petersburg
I wish Africa to be a stable, peaceful and prosperous region.
This is sort of confusing. Are we destroying peoples lives through war or uplifting them? Can we decide?
Working together with Russian government is Prosperity❤
Working together with western government is poverty😡
Keep going Africa.
GOD BLESS RUSSIA🇷🇺
GOD BLESS AFRICA🙏
That's a mind that enslaves Africa. We don't need foreigners to prosper. We have vision 2063 that doesn't mention Russia. We hate uniting but worship whites. Wake up!
It probably doesn't matter whether or not Russia or the west have anything to offer Africa. The only thing that matters is the fact that it feels like there is a grand war coming and they want in on the fighting.
You mean they DON't want in...
@@silentblackhole no "they do want in". Although they probably shouldn't.
Africa doesn't want war at all. Peace and economic prosperity are the chief concerns
@@Shining237 putin will force war on Africa... I mean on top of murdering their civilians via it's wagner mercenaries
@@Dogtroll You must first arrest Tony Blair, Barack Obama and George Bush for the war crimes they committed and killed millions of people you hypocrite.
Drop in African buckets by Pukin. On Thursday, the president said Russia would provide hard-pressed countries on the continent with free grain. Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somali, the Central African Republic, and Eritrea will each receive between 25,000 and 50,000 tons of grain, while Moscow will cover the delivery costs of the shipments.
Putin gave them the scrapings of his shoe.
Like America gave your fentanyl and Oxycodone, devil!
Not very bright are you?
What Nato and Pentagon is giving Africa?

Good to finally see a balanced discussion in this day and time.
You're right, professional journalism lost in western medias....
@@bobgonzales9680 ok rad lol im sure your countries media is top notch lol
May God protect Russia and make Russia powerful to defeat the evil colonial forces
Russia didn't support Africa because it liked Africa but because we were fighting its enemies
We have food in African and we are not asking for food.
Very funny intro, isolated but still manage to organised a summit that have 40 plus African countries represented. Plus Most of Asia, China, India, Arab countries
isolated but if he leaves his country... will be arrested
@@mlrk3y858 same with Obama and bush they can't leave America or they will be executed
@@mlrk3y858he won't be arrested.
Good on u Russia 🇷🇺 ✊🏾
Western countries consume wheat more than African countries.
How is it Russian fault when it’s been sanctioned not to export smh?
What happened to journalism, it’s a circus show!
Russia can offer 1% of the stuff africa needs....and free😂😂😂
For good corporation and loyaty
@@lucicerlanfe3897 oh dear 🤭
I'm glad to see the Malian President also attended.
my man is so serious, he thought his eyebrows away...
Viktor is one of the few good Russian commentator ...
Russia is isolated only Western European countries which amounted to 18% or less of world’s population. 80% of the world is with Russia . Uraaa 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺😎🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 Putin is the greatest leader and friend of the world 🗺
I in Southeast Asia believe that the closer move of South African countries and Russia is the consequence or result of the West's failure to help develop those nations ECONOMICALLY.
Western countries, in a general sense, can't effectively help rebuild poor developing nations' economic infrastructures. Many poor and developing countries used to be invaded and colonised by western countries and they are lwft behind without helping them. So these days many countries seek trade and investment from big countries or major trade partners that work better, china fpr example. Besides, Russia has a lot of natural resources like oil, gas, food, technologies, etc and more critically, many countries today feel more comfortable to work with china and russia becoz these two powers generally don't interfere other countries' internal affairs, while working with the west is too annoying.
How come an entire continent of about 54 countries can be used as a battle ground of between West and East? Don't you feel shame and embarrassed when you hear the Qatar - Africa summit? This got to change.
These leaders are not going to go hungry.
Africa needs to STOP singing praise 7 worship to the super powers.our leaders need to analyse WHATS IN THERE FOR AFRICA beyond political gain
Packet of Wotsits or Cornetto (chocolate one), coupla chocolate digestives
2024 who's here for more info looking forward for the 3rd Russia-Africa Summit.
Please take some action about the current situation in Bangladesh. Common people are on the streets demanding the resignation of the Awami League government, but still our shameless government is attacking the common people with police.
Dude from Luxembourg is compromised, his location states why 😅 the man has sold out. A dissident to Africa
Wise gifts from Russia has given grains too African nations.
Request to the journalists of Al Jazeera channel, to highlight the current political situation in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is hangers-on for America, that's why you don't have any food
Bangaledesh is slowly becoming atheist nation like turkey
@@janwitgoed lol putin eunuch trying to blame the US for everything
It is so stupid to report with out reasoning,many countries like my country South Sudan 🇸🇸 was represented by foreign affairs minister.
It doesn’t need president to be there in person
Shifting from one master to another and the new master promise you free food. you clap your hands. Thn you must be prepared to be colonised again. Russia -African summit was more politically than economically. Big ups to African leaders who didn't attend the summit. You cant go to another continent to solve your continental problem.
I don't see Russia opening up its borders and welcoming immigrants from the African countries.... Just saying.
The irony of Al Jazeera is that it is supposed to be a Gulf Arab organization, yet it functions as a quasi-mouthpiece of the conceptual "West." Its anchors are even primarily Europeans.
Propaganda mills have made quite a fuss about the "attendance" of this Africa-Russia summit versus the last one, suggesting that it speaks to "Russia's isolation." These mills lose sight of the fact that Russia _still has bilateral relations_ with all the African nations whose leaders attended the last Africa-Russia summit. Unlike the situation with the "West," Russia has no falling out with any African country via *sanctions* or other repressive measures. African leaders have _complained_ about how poorly they were treated at the 2022 _Africa-U.S._ summit, prompting them to *rethink how they will attend these **_Africa-to-one-nation_** conferences in the future.* Accordingly, rather than all Africa's leaders _flocking to meet one person,_ there's talk of _limiting attendance_ to fewer attendees, possibly via an AU envoy. So, the Africa-Russia summit attendance may be a sign of things to come rather than a reflection of _"Africa's alienation of Russia"_ or _"Russia's declining world relations."_
It's like it is impossible for u to be honest how do integrity stand with you they withdrew because the agreement was not honored they extended the grain deal even when they were using the same port to launched attack on Crimea I'm glad than information can be had from other sources the truth will prevail
Just look at those spinless african leaders selling their souls for grain😂😂😂
Russia has always been and will always be a reliable and respectful partner
Russia is not isolated, it's the collective west is
Abdiwahab was perfectly right when he says that Africa is not a part in this proxy war in Ukraine, and this is the case for most of the Southern hemisphere nations who suffer the the abuses and cynical manipulations coming from the North (USA, UK and France) PLUS most of the Middle East (save Israel) and most of East Asia including the most populous country, India.
Did Aubiwahab know that it was Putin that bombed hospitals and schools and blew up the electricity in the winter , son pay attention stop getting so emotional because you saw a room full of propagandists Putin us a killer and invaded a sovereign country
only bad countries invade their neighbors
Hey buddy you gave away the fact you are regurgitating Russian propaganda when you said that it's a "proxy war". It's not. Russia invaded Ukraine. Many countries around our world are assisting Ukraine with humanitarian aid, weapons and support . Russia started this unwarranted act of terrorism and genocide.
