African leaders are leaving two days of meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin with little to show in response to their requests to resume a deal that kept grain flowing from Ukraine and to find a way to end the war there.

    That commitment, with no details, follows Putin’s promise to start shipping 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain for free to each of six African nations in the next three to four months — an amount dwarfed by the 725,000 tons shipped by the U.N. World Food Program to several hungry countries, African and otherwise, under the grain deal.

    Jesus, 725,000 tons compared to 50, it’s no wonder African Nations are not at all happy

    Also it should be noted that only a handful of African leaders went, as opposed to back in 2019. African Nations are well aware it seems that backing Russia is a bad idea

    I just wish they’d kick out China next, both Russia and China have had a terrible influence on Africa and have kept them in bondage for decades.
