Putin Tries to Maintain Influence In Africa Threatening It With War

#thegaze #russia #africa #putin Recent Prigozhin's mutiny undermined Kremlin's importance in the world and Putin's power. And African support is more vital for the dictator than ever. He even forgave African countries $23 billion in debt. And stated that he would also deliver 25,000 tons of grain for free there. However, the President of the Republic of South Africa refused to consider Putin's proposal to replace the export of Ukrainian grain to Africa while Russia's war against Ukraine is going on. Putin intended to visit South Africa in August for the BRICS summit but the authorities will have to detain Putin as they had signed the Rome Statute. Russian dictator replied to that with his well-known 'threats of waging war' against South Africa if he is not accepted there. Such statement did not impress any one.
