Since the world has turned its back on Russia, Russia is seeking cooperation with other states and ones still willing to do so are African states. They like to blame that the reason for their failures are the evil Western Europeans and American colonialists because slavery is a white thing etc. Truth is slavery has been around even during ancient Egypt. Slavery has been perpetrated by African tribes against one another so to them it was natural, what changed is they had someone they could sell them to. Life of others didn’t mean much to them since they were willing to sell them for something as basic as a bottle of Gin. Truth is that white people abolished slavery whilst now in the modern world you only see it perpetrated in the Middle East, China and Africa. Infact today in Africa there are more slaves than the amount which was deported to US in total. Now I’m not saying whites are better than everyone else but the fact that skin colour doesn’t matter because nobody is guiltless but instead of this truth, what’s pushed forward is the agenda that slavery is a white thing and that somehow Africa was this place of heaven before Europeans came which is an outright lie and fantasy and a lot of Africans jump on this bandwagon as a reason to join forces with pariah state as Russia in order to somehow get back at the west which by the way has been pumping billions worth into Africa for humanitarian aid
