Only four out of 55 leaders reportedly listened to President Zelensky’s virtual address to the African Union
Twitter / Macky Sall, President of Senegal
Just a handful of African heads of state tuned in to personally listen to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as he accused Russia of holding their continent “hostage,” amid ongoing Western attempts to pin the blame for the global food crisis solely on Moscow.
Few details emerged from Zelensky's virtual meeting with the African Union, held behind closed doors on Monday, more than after the Ukrainian leader first tried to arrange a conference with the continent's leaders. Out of 55 nations only four were represented by heads of state, while the rest sent subordinates, to the BBC. However, Le Journal de l'Afrique claimed only a of ambassadors and ministers were actually present.
“They are trying to use you and the suffering of the people to put pressure on the democracies that have imposed sanctions on Russia,” Zelensky the African Union representatives, adding that “Africa is actually a hostage... of those who unleashed war against our state.”
Following the conference call, the President of Senegal and AU Chairperson, Macky Sall, indicated that Africa’s position of neutrality over the conflict remains unchanged. Roughly half of African states refused to support the UN General Assembly’s resolution to condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine, and no country on the continent has so far joined the sanctions.
“Africa remains committed to respect for the rules of international law, the peaceful resolution of conflicts and freedom of trade,” he in a tweet, thanking Zelensky “for his friendly address to the virtual meeting of the AU Extended Bureau.”
During his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi earlier this month, President Sall said Western sanctions against Russia Africa with a food security crisis. Last week he that the exclusion of Russian banks from international payment systems makes it harder for African states to pay for grain, while Europeans made exceptions for gas and oil that they need. This Friday, he joined a BRICS+ video conference, where Putin also criticized the West for its “cynical attitude” towards the food supply of the developing nations.
The EU has repeatedly expressed concerns over the prospect of a food crisis if Ukrainian grain cannot reach its traditional markets.
On Friday, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock echoed Zelensky's “hostage” claims, Moscow of “deliberately” using global hunger as “a weapon.” Simultaneously, foreign ministers of the G7 denied that anti-Russia sanctions have any impact on the global food crisis.
Ukraine, a major grain producer, has been unable to export its grain by sea due to the ongoing conflict, with an estimated 22 to 25 million tons of grain currently stuck at the country’s ports. Western nations have accused Russia of blocking the ports, while Moscow has repeatedly stated it will guarantee safe passage for grain shipments if Kiev clears its ports of its own mines. It also suggested exporting the grain through the Russian-controlled ports of Berdyansk and Mariupol.

In the coming days of chaos and rioting in the US I just want everyone to remember that it was our Comrade Jianguo who made this possible by putting THREE conservative judges on the supreme court during his four years:
I imagine him sitting up in his bedroom at night, big mac in hand and a ray of moonlight shines through the window to illuminate a landscape painting on the wall, next to the snowy mountain peak a simple poem line reads: 雪山千古冷，独照峨眉峰

Salute to Trudeau for defending Zelensky's honor. A true warrior for social justice. Today I am proud to be Canadian.
That Supreme Court needs a mental health assessment. Imagine writing your judgement on abortion and scare-mongering about China and North Korea lol
They just confirmed that China has a better human rights record than them - like not controlling the women's bodies.
Yup Let's film beating up African and Indian students while letting go European and fair skinned middle-eastern students scot free and act surprised why they won't help youLOL...

It's also why they continue to make bad decisions on things like how to handle COVID and how to treat SEA and pacific nations. If you assume everything China does is wrong and do the opposite, then China just need to make correct decisions and US will destroy itself trying to do the opposite.
I shell refer to this as the "George Costanza Fallacy" of geopolitics.
It has always been like that Most of Western Ethnic origin is from Eurasian nomadic tribes and in nomadic culture women are property, It's just that current affluence in western societies allow them to mimic civilised behaviour innate to settled agrarian culture like China, White Women's life will become very similar to that of contemporary Outer Mongolian (similar nomadic culture and origin) women's social life in a few decades full of alcoholism and domestic violence.

About 40% of the men working in the US police, beats their wives.
And btw, that number came from people who self-reported it (to the survey), no idea of how many that does it while not reporting it.
