(CNN) — Russia said Monday it was suspending its participation in a crucial deal that allowed the export of Ukrainian grain, once again raising fears over global foodRead More
Depending on where you are from, there won’t be much change in the price the experts say… But grain to poor countries in for example Africa will be effected much more.
So Putin is mad about losing in Ukraine, so now Africa have to suffer also …
Imagine the amount of ignorance of history that goes into a comment like this. Do you really believe an entire continent of countries/people support or even give a fuck about Russia when they’re worried they’re going to starve?
The victim blaming in this thread is atrocious. All because of a perception that a few Africans support Russia on Twitter.
Just remember there’s 48 countries, not just “Africa”. Depending which country or even which area of a country you’re looking, you’ll find a part of Africa ruining Africa or a part of Africa being ruined by Africa. It’s a socially and politically wild place, mostly due to corruption and sectarianism. So, while a few support Russia, others are aiding Ukraine, others entirely indifferent to what’s going on.
After what the West did to Africa, can you really blame them for supporting Russian and Chinese foreign policy, especially when both nations have shown a far greater willingness to invest in the continent in recent years?
Russia also benefits very heavily from goodwill in Africa generated by the Soviet Union’s colonial liberation legacy. A very large number of states there owe their sovereignty to Soviet support in overthrowing colonial rule.

If it were just a Twitter thing, I’d agree

Governments: starting wars that most people don’t want
People: starving because governments are at war and don’t give a shit about them
You: “Hah, fuck those people because governments are at war. They get what they deserve, those people who only want to eat.”

I’m not here to argue with you. I’m here to point out your blatant xenophobia and how wrong it is. Have a nice day.
