Russia–Africa Summit: Claims About Sovereignty and Western Influence

Moscow is hosting

the third Russian-African

Summit this week, and the

reason why it's so important is because these are two truly mutually

complementary partners. Allow me to explain.

So Africa requires investment, tech, trade,

energy, fertilizers, skill transfer, infrastructure

modernization, and state-of-the-art military training,

among other things,

and Russia is more than happy to provide all of this at a fair price,

and importantly,

with no strings attached.

The reason is that Russia has enough natural resources.

It does not need Africa's, and it especially does not want to exploit

Africa's. And this makes Russia the polar opposite

of the West, which

continues to extract African resources and exploit the continent

to the hilt. And that's because the West continues to

derive a fair share of its

own wealth from Africa, and Russia does not want that

to happen because that, in turn, helps fund, in part,

the West military industrial complex that is actively killing

Russians. So therefore, it can be said that

Russia's national security interest are advanced by

helping Africa break free from the West neocolonial chains and

comprehensively strengthen its own sovereignty.

Now, this is very important

because the West

wanted to stop

African leaders and delegations from traveling to this event

precisely for this

reason, because the West reads the writing on the

wall, and

it knows that this event is going to accelerate multipolarity

processes

at the cost of their unipolar hegemony. And that's the thing.

This is a work in progress.

Slowly but surely, the

world is not gonna

change overnight,

but Russia is Africa's

most reliable partner

precisely because,

as was explained,

it does not need

Africa's resources. Russia has more than enough of its own,

and

therefore, it is doing everything it can to help

Africa comprehensively

strengthen its sovereignty and break the chains of Western

neocolonialism.
