Trump faces up to 5 years in prison for two of them. Two more to 20 and todays program will start with an excerpt from one historical document, meaning to determine in a spirit of mutual good. Agreements, the most favorable conditions for the development of trade and civilization, in some areas of africa, on the other hand, wanting to prevent disagreement, disputes can still occur later when taking possession of new coastal lands of africa and, at the same time, caring about ways to raise the moral and material wellbeing of the native populations, decided to collect for this purpose , the conference in berlin was directly the final act of the berlin conference 1885 when the great powers were carving up africa and today the great powers are fighting for a new balance. Forces are already looking for an alliance with african states and peoples , the world has changed a lot and the role of the black continent. In it, we will also talk about this today. In the program , inna alexandrovna vetrenko, doctor of political sciences, professor, will help me to understand the topic today with us. Hello and alexei yavdonin. Analyst today is a guest of our program. Thank you very much for your presence and, of course, we are starting our Traditional Program with a flash question. Do you agree that africa is the most promising continent in the next decade , no doubt africa is a very promising continent and many countries are looking for union with africa. As you rightly said, ah, but the question is, on what terms are they looking for this union, and so far, and the colonial policy of many European Countries and the perception of the african continent, is so outdated and takes us back to, uh, that period colonial period that we understand that they are not equal partners see among african states while russia a and belarus see in african countries. And the allies and are ready to cooperate with them on an equal footing, what, uh, was generally discussed at the second summit in st. Petersburg, which ended recently. Alexey, please, here, if we take the point of view of the economy, then, and our entire World Economy is global. Now it is experiencing a crisis of overproduction and please note that over the past 30 years africa has not been given much attention, mainly used it as a raw material base, namely now, when the entire Global Economy has come to a very strong crisis of overproduction. The question arose about the need to invest in africa to send goods, services, and uh. Naturally. Here is the population of africa which is 1 billion 450 million people. E, on the one hand, it will be a huge sales market for these goods, and on the other hand , it will provide the largest maxim margin for the corporation, because, naturally, e hmm, the cost of labor force there in this region is extremely low and therefore, large corporations are now trying to divide africa to the maximum and we see what kind of rivalry is going on between key not only countries or regions, but key corporations, in addition, i want to inform you that the russiaafrica forum, which inna alexandrovna just remembered became a major geopolitical event that opened a new chapter in relations between the Russian Federation and the dark continent. He demonstrated the failure of attempts to leave russia isolated and destroy it from with the help of the sanctions, we will talk about this and not only with the editorinchief of the journal russia in global affairs, Fedor Alexandrovich lukyanov, Fedor Alexandrovich hello , i am glad to welcome you. Hello very glad in the 19th century, the possession of african colonies, in addition to economic benefits , was considered an important element in ensuring a balance of power between the great powers. And now again, even in the west, they admit that they are concerned about the activity of china and the Russian Federation on the black continent, not from the point of view of competition for resources, but in the context of struggle for contours. New system of International Relations. Thats how it can be argued that the transition of International Relations to the semblance of a balance of power makes us witnesses of a new fight for africa there is such an expression in the english language scramble. This is how it was 150 years ago. Well, any analogies are historical parallels, they are very misleading, and in this sense , it is probably not quite correct to refer to events from 150 years ago. Uh, firstly, uh, the nature of the confrontation that we have now, of course, it reminds very little, still straight. Uh, so to speak, the colonial expansion aggression that was then. Secondly, you said that we are returning to the system of balance. Im not sure about this, because the world that arises quite quickly. Now its preconditions appeared somewhere in the beginning of the 21st century, and now many events, including russian politics, have become a catalyst, and somehow it doesnt seem to me that this is a world of balance, but balance in the classical sense with such a balance of power of the players. In my opinion, it is not achievable, and, accordingly, balances can to be regional at best. And even then the questions and probably the criteria are completely different in this sense, er, typical. Uh, the most interesting, in relation to africa, is not what is going on there. Heres the real fight, and what, uh, as we see western countries, well, first of all, now france is the one that worries me the most. They see the russian hand in everything , and indeed. It would seem there in nigeria and earlier in mary e, burkina faso of the Central African republic , russian flags appeared at protests and portraits of putin well, as it would seem. Well, here, but in fact, i would be happy if i had the opportunity to work so actively in russia. I think that this is not so, unfortunately, but simply for these countries that are not satisfied with their position and indeed africa as a whole. This, by the way, was very evident at the russian african forum. Last week, africa as a whole begins to look for some kind of its own subjectivity. Its quite problematic for them to agree on processes within themselves, but this clearly exists. And for them , the antipode of the west is, is russia reasonable or not . Its a different question, but appearance of portraits. Putin, this does not mean what agents, e. G. , the fsb, or the svr work there. And the fact that for them the country that has thrown, the challenge to the west is frankly some kind of attempt to be a role model. Well, what will come of this is another question, but this is evidence of how much things really change, but i would not reduce everything to the competition of the greats. And there are also processes that occur between the actual. Here are those for whom they seem to be competing. Fedor aleksandrovich, with your permission, would like to display a map on the screen. Heres the one prepared the journal economest about the military and Political Economic presence of pmc wagner in africa, where we observe the key states of the kingdoms of sudan libya malia mozambique cameroon madagascar burkenov aso congo south Africa Zimbabwe kenya here, in your opinion. There is already an opinion at the moment that the activities of the wagner pmc in africa have become a winning formula for russia, which made it possible to get friends in the face, in need of military support from the government, and at the same time do it. This is not at their own expense, but in fact at the expense of themselves. Africans paying for the services of pmcs, and in this sense it reminds me of colonial times, the activities of medieval condensers from the catalan company, and the east or drakes corsairs who helped their native aragon or england strengthen their influence and also earn money on this, what do you say about this, because how can i not discuss. And this is an aspect. You know, if you love historical analogies so much, then you have to be careful from a moral and ethical point of view, which is worse than colonization or all these dashing people. This is also a separate question, therefore. Whether it is necessary apply this kind . The definition for our pmcs, i dont know, but as for the magazine with icons, that its generally time for the editorinchief to present a badge there for services to the fatherland of some kind, at least the third degree, because if you believe him, magazines are icons, which in general scarier than a cat is a beast or not russia is everywhere. Im looking at this map , im not a big specialist in africa, but i have a feeling that they are strong in strength, which is covarner, uh, distant, which there are no such presence there, but as for the essence of the question. E, of course, this is a tool that is very effective in some cases, not always, but you need to understand and for us , russia you need to understand that, after all, the main support turns out to be the weakest and countries are countries that are really not able to provide their own sovereignty on their own , that some do not really warnings. Eh, and yes there are a number of strong points. Well, at least, here in the very zone where niger is now, but is it good that yes, because, of course, this is a normal tool quite another thing is that it cannot be assumed that with the help of this particular form of presence. We, so to speak, will conquer africa, we will conquer in the nonmilitary autonomous sense of Political Economics, because there are countries that, on the contrary, are afraid of this kind. Ah, presence. Eh, but they are interested in cooperation with russia, and here we need some very subtle filigree policy that does not exclude the companys activities, but does not make it the only core. Fedor aleksandrovich just a minute of your time, please stay with us. Still needed aleksey would like to talk about belarus, which is actively working in africa. However, you know that a number of countries on this continent could become good economic partners. First, they need to restore order and overcome the challenges to their security from various armed radicals and separatists. Is it worth using the relevant experience of the wagner pmc to turn the republic of belarus into a security provider for a friendly african state and people. Here you go, if you can compare it like that to unite the belarusian soft power, and with the military capabilities of the dude we export, and the world, uh, in the form of nonexport. Uh, some military companies or corporations, but an export negotiation platform. So we have a very good experience. Uh, very good negotiating skills ah, and in my opinion. We can use this experience, first of all, our experts, specialists, to resolve the situation in certain countries or regions of africa. It is clear that at present, of course, it is necessary to raise, probably, the level of training, e of our experts. Uh, enhance their competencies so that we can, as well, successfully participate in these negotiation processes, but from a point of view. Here, uh, taking part in hostilities on the part of belarus well, probably not quite right. In your opinion, is joint activity possible in africa, and joint activity in working with the countries of the african continent, russia and belarus , is certainly possible, and i completely agree with my colleague that the presence of chavik the carriage does not mean that these are the established zones of influence of russia on the african continent, since i remind you that chvyakova wagner is a private military company that pursues its commercial goals and is represented in all selected countries in different numbers, somewhere there are guarded by several people, and the oil pipeline and nothing more, so it s not worth reducing it all to an established influence. And this is very dangerous. Even i would say, because it is necessary to involve official diplomacy , it is necessary to involve paradiplomacy, that we now we see that this Public Diplomacy is cooperation not only in the political and economic spheres, as well as in the formation of sports , culture and other areas, russia and belarus have something to offer within the framework of the union state of the african continent , and these proposals were clearly articulated during the summit, the 92 agreements and treaties that were signed as a result speak for themselves, so completely different instruments are needed here. And for the fact that we interact with african countries continent. The fact is that we are now talking one way or another about the formation of a system of a new world order, which has not existed for a long time. We want it to be because its normal , its stability. This is openness. This is a normal competition between e countries and it can be achieved only by civilized state diplomatic and sociodiplomatic methods, but not by military influence or some kind of military commercial presence. Thank you very much Fedor Alexandrovich would also like to talk about the economic component of the possible interactions to talk. We have the last question for you. It seems, unlike the soviet leaders who invested billions in african countries. As it was said then, the current russian leadership, which has stood in the way of building socialism , is more pragmatic about debt relief and grain assistance, but also about profitable activities. Moscow does not forget what, in your opinion, is the balance between moscows desire to have allies in africa and its willingness to spend money on it. Well, you know, we have politics, uh, all of us patriotic russia in particular, it develops in such cycles like a pendulum, but indeed the soviet union, e, placed the main emphasis on ideology, and so to speak, they did not stand behind the price, and in many respects did not consider expenses, by the way, in part. That is why we are still we maintain good positions in africa because they remember this soviet generosity there. Why was she forgotten. And that it was still there, so i would, well, that is, this has its advantages. And as for today, i would say that we have a slightly skewed on the other hand, we underestimate the need for a vast humanitarian impact of influence, which requires costs. Yes of course, this is not pumping up, there e budgets. E. And this is, for example, the quality of other e funds allocated to education for african countries for all sorts of projects to improve the quality of their lives and so on, but in general. I think that our Current Situation is certainly healthier than then. Uh, this understanding of the need to support africa and uh, the understanding that spending is just mindlessly money e is not worth it we do not have such opportunities and know. How it ended this is for the ussr, but the balances of this. I think its yet to be installed. And i would just say that we need to be a little grayer. Thank you very much alexander for your time for your answers, i remind you Fedor Lukyanov , editorinchief of russia in global affairs, was with us. Lets continue our discussion. I want to remind you that africa is one of the most promising regions of the planet in terms of Natural Resources and Human Potential to date , the volume of the continents gdp. Three trillion dollars, despite the fact that back in 2015 this figure did not exceed 2. 3 trillion, and this is a significant increase in such a short time , and plus everything should be taken into account that africa has six of the Fastest Growing economies in the world, and in addition to the current dynamics. There is a certain reserve for the future and the economy and population and resources. Everything suggests that the continent is developing, so Economic Cooperation with the country will give a powerful momentum for the development of the economy. Belarus about this not only in more detail in our story. Recently, african countries have begun to play an increasingly significant role in the world arena, both in politics and in the economy for belarus , cooperation with this continent is part of a multivector economic policy. Our country has established diplomatic relations with 501 out of 54 countries of the african continent, and the key area of ​​cooperation between belarus and african states is expansion. Products and services Potash Fertilizers became the main commodity, in last year, our country exported potash to 27 african countries, and the largest amount of foreign currency was brought to morocco by almost 60 million dollars, in addition to Potash Fertilizers, belarus delivers belarusian machinery, equipment and components to africa. The countries of the african continent export maz mtz belaz belshina gomselmash other Domestic Enterprises are also supplying other semifinished products from unalloyed steel newsprint. Xray equipment and linen fabrics, in addition, belarus exported food products, milk and cream, condensed and dried eggs, meat and edible offal of poultry to african countries. But belarusian imports from african states. Mainly tied to food citrus fruit potatoes, grapes. Cocoa beans, bananas , coconuts, pears, plum tomatoes, and avocados are also af. Russian countries supply coffee to the belarusian market, belarus buys and other goods, medicines, clothing, copper waste and scrap, seeds for sowing. Equipment for sorting and grinding titanium ores and concentrates, understanding clearly the potential of the african region. We purposefully promote our not only Foreign Policy, but also foreign economic interests in these countries, and i am almost sure. Yes, we will continue to work on increasing our diplomatic presence in african countries last year against the backdrop of sanctions, the network of belarusian foreign institutions was optimized, it was reduced in the presence of belarus in the countries of western europe and north america , and the diplomatic presence of belarus has increased in the countries of the socalled far arc , it is in africa that our country sees an ally Alexander Lukashenko spoke about this. There are people here. Here, people every year become more educated , the latest technologies come here, the world cannot develop without africa, therefore, we are here all the powers that be and the usa and china and russia and Great Britain, the entire European Union, and so on and so forth, the future belongs to africa, it is impossible not to agree with Alexander Lukashenko, the future belongs to africa, and belarus is one of the few states that began to build mutually beneficial, and relations with the countries of the Central African region long before how it became mainstream alexey what are the key areas of the key industry for a successful mutual . Actions between the republic of belarus and the countries of the Central African region can you single out . Well we see that the key the direction that we naturally develop is, uh, trade is especially important for us, since we are an exportoriented state to supply our goods, we supply our services, and the other direction. This, of course, uh, joint production in africa that is, this is already, but the supply of not finished goods, and already some kind of cooperation with african companies, enterprises are drawn in. Yes, involving them, uh, engineers , uh, employees in this production process. Well, another direction. This, of course. Uh, the scientific realm, without it we cant talk that e is in the interests of, for example , the National Economies of a particular african country. We can create normal surplus value. And, of course, if we talk after sfe. The economy and this is mechanical engineering, this machine tool industry is the mining industry. Uh, this includes uh, fpharmaceuticals, we see how many african countries now, especially at the africa russia summit, uh, have stated that they are interested in abandoning the products of western pharmaceutical companies. And, of course, and we have a large number goods. E in this area, which we, in principle, can put on the african continent and thereby, e, replace, e, western counterparts. Uh, direction a lot. Uh, but most importantly, we must emphasize that we do not focus on the exploitation of the african countrys african population. We always focus on close cooperation and partnership so that it would be extremely beneficial for everyone. Well, this is the meaning of the protest moods that we are seeing in africa today, and of course. Called out. They desire to end the colonial past and think first of all, about his personal interests, but you see, fedor aleksandrovich also noticed, of course, its easier for the west to watch to look for this russian hand, but in fact this is an exclusively sovereign desire of this or that state, and alexander i think the situation with niger confirms this. Yes, of course, uh, the african continent is a very different continent, and the level of development of not only economies, but even elementary literacy is very different and uh, europe, which for a long time used the countries of this african continent and peoples, but in order to to have, uh, cheap labor, and access to those, but the resources that these states have. And for them it has always been so beneficial that now seeing that these countries. Childbirth is perceived in a completely different way, and both from the side of, uh , international, uh, commonwealth organizations of states, and within countries, uh, such protest and completely different relations are ripening, and they are afraid of losing their sphere of influence. Here. Uh, probably even more. Here, uh, such a typical example from the conga and the congo is one of the richest countries in terms of, and useful fossils. There is oil there. There is coal there. There is cobalt there is very rare metals. Well, all this is still mined as, uh, within the framework of the belgian colony, using very clumsy archaic methods, and russia, uh, as well as other civilized countries, offer elementary technological assistance, and we already see assistance in obtaining these Training Resources for this and uh about how europe reacts to it europe says that it s just that africa is changing another owner of one owner for another owner. Ah, go away the belgian influence will be gone. There, from most countries, french, russian influence will come. The fact is that russia initially clearly advertises its positions, with which it enters africa for russia, the world should be a multipolar multipolar world , national and sovereign states play the main violin, they are the main actors in International Relations , therefore, these countries are considered as selfsufficient sovereign ones, but they need help precisely in what a colleague spoke about. Multilevel assistance; they need scientific educational technological assistance economic assistance the creation of a new economic industrial zone, which , by the way, is based not on handouts to africa from russia and other states, but on a barter. This is the market that russia really needs now, and belarus needs it under the sanctions, and here everything is completely open. A. The only charity we uh mentioned today is that russia promised a free supply of grain, but its actually a replacement for that uh grain deal the black sea agreement, which was so unfair and we discussed it in this studio back in the fall. And in general , our forecasts came true, but with regard to the grain deal, that if russia does not fulfill the conditions, it will simply withdraw, and it really did. E if from that deal only 3 went to those countries that really need our cheese, in relation to which we have overproduction. And now they will receive. Address, namely as much as they need. This is not charity. This is our contribution to the solution global problems of the struggle with the voice. We remember very well, based on one deal in fact. How much grain did you find in which countries . Hands of everything, yes, yes, oleksiy remembered a mischievous deal, of course, we remember about ukraine, everyone is used to the fact that the players solve the problems of africa and send Diplomatic Missions of peacekeepers there, and just recently a group of african countries came up with a Peace Initiative on ukraine, and now, that this is the final, rather the final europe of centrism, when africans are already trying to help the european peoples to sort things out among themselves here is the most important thing, probably for the entire collective west you know this, but a status shock, because they, in principle, have been for the past 400 years. E dominated the World Politics agenda of the World Economy and did not allow the former colonies. Uh, put forward some global Peace Initiatives. And here we see that african countries have united to put forward an agenda. This is what they say that, in principle, the world has changed has already changed, but the collective west, first of all, anglosaxon world. He cannot accept it, that is, they are still rolling along with inertia. Uh, already, uh, life is different. Yes, the whole whole picture in the glass is completely different, but for some reason they think that they still dominate. They still retain some, but a monopoly right to determine the world policy of the World Economy, but this is not the case, and most likely, and we will see the strengthening in the near future. Here are the positions on a peaceful resolution both from africa and from the asiapacific region of the asiapacific region and from latin america what does this say these a streams will merge into slats, and, at the same time, put pressure on the anglosaxons saying that all your dominance policy, which was dominance, and in africa it has changed, it has changed now a lot of the polar world. And no one will let you exploit other regions. I remember on the air the program of sasaauthorities to declare the role in africa in the new system of International Relations and i remind you that on the night of july 27, the niger military announced the removal of president Mohammed Bazum and the transfer of power to the National Salvation council motherland, as well as on the closure of borders while stopping the constitution and banning the activities of any political parties, niger, which in the past was a french colony for a long time allowed paris to realize its national interests, france tried to strengthen its position in the region, despite the growth of antifrench sentiment in society. This dissatisfaction was fully manifested after the coup detat and in recent days in the capital of niger, the city of niael. Passed a row on their remains, during which antifrench slogans sounded, on july 30, a large demonstration took place in front of the french embassy, ​​protesters demanded the withdrawal of foreign troops from niger. The demonstrators also tried to set fire to the doors of the embassy and did not stand aside and the new government, not gera, they accused france and its allies of plans to carry out a military operation to free the ousted president , and after that there was news about the suspension of the export of uranium and gold by the niger to france well well about this not only the detail is not in our story africa continues deny the military mutinies following the moth guinea. And in burkina faso, a coup detat took place in niger, officers representing various power structures announced the fall of the legitimate government. Rebels. The expresident was accused of destroying the country because during his reign, niger was a close ally of france and other western countries; in fact, the country remained a colony and worked on the mother country. We are the defense and security forces. Decided to put an end to the regime, as you know, this followed a continuing deterioration in the security situation and did not satisfactory management in economy. And in the social sphere, the military also announced the suspension of the constitution of all state institutions and the closure of borders. And in the capital of the country, mass protests were held in support of the military, the protesters held russian flags in their hands and even hung them on the french embassy, ​​shouting, while antifrench slogans thus local residents opposed the western monopoly in the region to secede from the eu and especially from france the main goal of the new government, the selfproclaimed leader niger. Head of the president ial guard. One of the first decrees announced the cessation of the export of uranium and gold to france , the rebels made such a decision after they accused paris of preparing an operation to rescue the expresident in turn. The decree was a real blow to the fifth republic because. This african country is one of the leading exporters of uranium not only to france but also to europe in general for niger. A quarter of such deliveries account for. In addition, a large French Company for the extraction of uranium is located in nigeria, while about france itself, the seriousness of the situation is denied, apparently in order not to once again cause another protest, france does not depend on any one site of a company or country to ensure the security of supplies for its power plants, the situation in nigel does not pose a threat to the security of supplies of natural uranium to france at the same time, many experts predict hard times, not only for france, but also for the European Union, since the ban on niger will directly affect sanctions against russian uranium, while the collective west together with the Economic Community of west african countries, they are actively trying to influence the situation in nigeria, the latter even put forward a radical and ultimatum demand by the rebels. They must reinstate the deposed president within seven days. Otherwise nigga neighbors. They promised to use military force. However, burkina beans and malii opposed. This, stating that they would regard the intervention in niger as a declaration of war and threatened to withdraw from the community of west african states, since the coup detat in nigeria they regard it as a desire for independence from the west, because niger, both for paris and for brussels, was one of the most reliable and loyal partners in west africa. Now the European Union has literally lost its influence in the region, and political scientists believe this is only the beginning. Aleksey, you know at what point i would like to draw the attention of our respected viewers, here is the head of the american state department. Anthony blinkin visited niger back in march of this year and the visit at that time was called historical in the state department. They noted that niger has become one of the most important partners on the continent for the us in terms of security cooperation, and what we see several months have passed 45 months the situation is completely different, how do you implement it the americans again prepared a coup detat no i dont think so, but you see in fact the situation is different than they want to present it to you. Well, here is the most important thing. Yes hmm just a couple of numbers and we will understand the economy. Why is it so, and not the coat of arms , is still important for france and important, in principle, for the Global Nuclear industry, but hmm nigga. Uh, in the fifties, it was and in this country, uh, it was french uh, scientists found. Uh, deposits of uranium and they uh, currently niger is ranked fifth in the world in the production of uranium uh, about 3,000 are mined per year. E tons, and. Eh, basically. All of them are exported to europe and, of course, there is enrichment and subsequent use directly in Nuclear Power. But, its important to understand Something Else in that, in principle, it was french corporations and european corporations that received this uranium not even at a market value, but much lower and when a certain representative of france declares that they do not depend on the supplies of the niger, she is cunning very much , very strongly, because you must understand that france is the country in europe that did not refuse in the period of the seventies. From Nuclear Electricity , the germans, under the influence of the americans, uh, launched uh, this virus is under the guise, but green. Uh, Power Engineers and destroyed their entire nuclear industry, and what is Nuclear Power . This is extremely cheap electricity, which from which naturally, it depends on the work of any, but industrial enterprises, Agricultural Processing enterprises, which means that the cost of the final product is much lower than what they actually did. Well, if you say so, uh, rebels in this african country. Yes, they actually screwed up. Uh, cheap e resources for france and that means they chopped off the entire french model that de gogol was still building, that is, based on e, cheap electricity generated, and due to ee Nuclear Power plants, and the fuel came just from africa from niger. We are uh we will probably see the next few years, if the situation does not change, and they do not restore power there, we will see, but gradually withering, and many economic sectors, e in france and this, but will say that france will no longer be able to you know, to conduct such a sharp policy towards Great Britain or the usa, that is , it will not act sharply towards the anglosaxons. Although at the beginning of march, Emmanuel Macron announced plans to reduce frances military activity in africa and refocus on expanding economic ties, however, at the same time, about 6,000 french troops remain in the territory of six african countries to this day. Lets Pay Attention to the map of frances military presence. What actions can be taken by france, because we see that the foreign political for the country, you know. For the french, all these political statements are that they are starting to expand economic mutually beneficial cooperation with niger and reducing the military. This is just populist rhetoric. But this so uh, its easy uh due to the military presence of a loyal president of the elite, placed in their places, who make loyal decisions regarding france and receive this uranus and now they are faced with uh, and i think that they are somewhat at a loss , especially after the statements that were made today, also in a report from the neighbors , because france believed that hmm africa is a colony in which it is possible to rule, if not at the expense of one country, then at the expense of a coalition of other countries, a here it turns out that the main supplier of uranium is now leaving, uh, the neighbors are suspending supplies. They do not agree to military intervention. And here is another one. A very important factor niger e has stated that he wants to join the international brix organization. They want to join. E, brix a and their e, the application was for the time being, uh, articulated in verbal form, there is no written application, unlike algeria , which will be considered at the next, but the summit in south africa. Uh, those brix countries themselves heard it, paid attention if now, uh, the government that came to power will represent the interests of the country and will be included in international cooperation, a and will join or accept an application for entry into brix this suggests that the full influence of france uh, lost here why it is lost . Yes , because russia and other civilized countries perceive, and the state of the african continent, as partners, and they understand what they can give them. In return, here, too , no selfinterest, no ideology, no colonialist habits. Russia has always been against this. These are all three of our stages of history, starting from the imperial yes of the soviet and the new democratic, and the elites have always protested against these colonial habits. And this appeals to these countries. And by the way, regarding niger. You know, they see the russian trace again. And they tell us here are your flags. Uh, chvyaka wagner is represented there. There is a small presence of a person on fire and more, and you showed us one map of the official presence, uh, a certain amount of forces, and private military companies in africa, and there are more another map compiled by the politicians of europe where those are marked with dots, and the former colonies of europe where coups will take place, and since there is a pmc wagner will be installed. Here is such a prorussian government, the government is not about tiysk, it is installed far away, but because these are very different social strata that entered it. And what will happen, how we will build a dialogue for us. This is also a problem that needs appropriate rhetoric. This is a task that needs to be addressed, but we perceive it as partners. It was understandable. Why western press, all of a sudden there looking for something when they feel their own weakness, well, no other method has yet been invented, and for the United States, niger was an important platform for collecting intelligence information in the region , two american bases and drones are located on the territory of the country. Thanks to them, the United States of america has collected and collected until now, intelligence throughout the region for hel and in addition, i would like to draw the attention of our esteemed viewers. Please bring out the map of west africa we see. Which list of countries have already declared their true desires against the concordances held by the western world for many years. To be honest, aleksey, there are prerequisites for the formation of a certain bloc, one might say antiwestern, that is , the western part of africa of the continent against the west of this hegemon, which is saying goodbye to this status. You know, probably, our viewers need to emphasize the most important aspect e that if such a situation had happened about 30 years ago, when the soviet union collapsed, the organization collapsed. E of the warsaw pact and in nigeria had, uh, a coup detat, and the next day or a few days later, the military announced that uh, blocking exports completely. Uranus , so that nato planes would immediately fly there and start bombing and no matter what countries of west africa, and not look, everyone would sit, quietly, watch how it goes. The bombing is not gera of other countries that would come out in support. And now the most important thing that happened. The west cannot do this nato it cannot do this, that is , african countries, understanding what is now geopolitical situation. They challenged the west, they challenged the ageold challenge. Imagine, yes, that is, how much the west is a colonial country, but they exported, uh, representatives of african peoples, uh, to the United States of america yes, how they exploited them in europe and now, yes, uh, in fact, and 400500 years after this exploitation, they declared yes , they openly declared that they are free and will independently develop their national economy. They dont want to be colonies. They say want to buy from us you buy uranium, but only at normal prices. Do not exploit us, that is the difference and therefore other countries. Seeing this uh this message this uh, the National Liberation movement. They started to join, i mean actually. Yes , my colleague will probably support me, we see, but the new wave of the National Liberation movement. It already took place, er, and in the 19th century after the second world war. This was actively supported by the soviet union, but now we see that thanks to the position of russia, which is leading this. Uh, the most powerful fight war with the collective west, other countries have risen, they uh, got the spirit, probably, yes, this is what lifts them up and they say, no, its time. Eh, when can we win . Here. Main. You probably know, it seems to me that if the conflict in ukraine had not happened, it would have been worth inventing it for the leaders of the western world, because they were convinced that russia would focus exclusively on this region and would not have enough resources to force. Again, to participate in fairly prosperous relations with both the peoples republic of china and in the same africa to be present and to carry out its activities in the arctic, but it turned out differently. And this is a very painful topic, of course, in relation to the ukrainian conflict for us for russia , when it is being settled and our guys are dying, but simply no one expected that russia would take such actions and launch a special military operation. Although the conflict began in february 2014. We know this very well. And no one expected that russia would not be isolated and that they would rally around it. Those countries, even those countries that were not expected, but the strange african continent. Burkina faso, end of september 2020. The coup comes to power a young captain, and the military unit cobra who gave a pep talk at the summit and said that we must raise our heads and stop being slaves. We have great resources. And we have someone to help and lend a helping hand, this is right, but an incendiary speech that ended with the words of che guevara motherland or death. Yes, a lot has been written about it. I even translated all of his speech myself. Uh, his rhetoric was interesting, by the way, very literate and they were then in the middle and no one paid attention to it alone. Now its a wave. I went to the neighbors and these neighbors are resource holders of important uh resources for europe, without which they cannot do, and the support of russia, which leads to a special military operation and builds a multipolar world , is really being built by its partners, and with china and belarus they are doing it systematically. This is completely open, of course. This e causes both negativity and aggression and various kinds of diplomatic wars in attitude towards russia from the outside. West here , perhaps, one should add e. We are just more and more like russia yes, but she even says that china has also played a big role in the development of economic development. That is, china has been very methodical over the past thirty years. Very smoothly, very calmly, as chinas ee can penetrate the african region with its thousandyearold wisdom. Uh, created and a powerful enterprises and trained uh, hmm representatives of the african continent. And the most important thing is that western corporations, they realized it very late, they er saw. This is the Strong Influence of china and many of these coups that we have even seen in the last, probably 5 years in africa, they were to a greater extent not even that of a national character. This is western power with the help of its own. Uh, technologies of velvet revolutions tried, but somehow stopped. Uh, the influence of china in certain countries of the african continent. But we see that, in principle, they did not succeed much, because it is clear that when hmm the elite. Corporate already in these national countries. Eh, africa, they, uh, naturally implement some kind of general idea, right . And this idea is an increase in wellbeing at the expense of. Naturally, such powers as china not only need to be said, the most important thing is that here is china. He did not just create some Production Enterprises and exploited, but he created powerful Infrastructure Projects for the population. If you take here one of the largest about which few people talk, but at the same time it is, uh, the most annoying factor for the uk. They were able to build the chinese. E, the most powerful e, highways and railroads from somalia to egypt and bypass. Ah, the suez canal. Uh, the soviet channel is clear that this is an artery that controls the flow of all goods from the asiapacific region, and we will remember to remember. When the suez canal was blocked and as the prices for goods fell sharply, e, many corporations collapsed. And most importantly, the chinese continued to supply their goods through the infrastructure that they had created before, and, of course, the west is very angry, that in fact they missed the moment, and time, as you know, is money time in geopolitics. This is either a win or a loss, and at the present time we see that, in principle, they no longer have time, african countries are on the rise. Ah, the freedom movement. The spirit rises the spirit. To naturally, is based on the understanding that these african countries can live better and much better, of course. Our task. Here is belarus this is the Peace Initiative, which is primarily focused on ensuring that, as the president said, provide food, so that they could feed themselves. This is an increase in the level of agricultural mechanization, remember, here is the president of zimbabwe, we just said we will give you equipment, you will feed yourself and solve your problems with hunger. And, of course, here, uh, we are, uh, knowing, having experience of technological experience in uh, in agriculture. First of all, you should probably navigate. Here is a solution to a global problem this is the problem of hunger, the problem of lack of water, and in these countries, alexei, on this optimistic note, we will put an end to todays program, our discussion confirmed that africa is not a common concept. Africa is very different, bloody tribal conflicts are still blazing somewhere, and somewhere leading corporations are queuing for the right to work, but in any case, a black air conditioner in the 21st century will not be the backyard of world civilization. A complete i would like a quote from the first us president with african roots, barack obama, and up to date. It is not only for the distant southern countries in africa that it is clearly visible that the difference between a village where people eat and a village where people are starving are determined by the state in one state works in another no. That is why i am very worried about people who say that the state is an enemy, they do not understand its fundamental role. Thank you it was the program sas authorized to declare.
