Russia and Africa relations
Russia treats Africans as equals, Patrice Lumumba’s son tells RT
“Lumumba’s father, Patrice Lumumba, was the first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for a tumultuous three months in 1960. With the fledgling state threatened by Belgian-backed separatists, Lumumba appealed to the US and UN for aid, who turned down his request. The USSR, however, supplied his government with weapons and military advisers, and when Lumumba was ousted and arrested in a coup, the Soviets pushed the UN to secure his release.
Patrice Lumumba was executed by Belgian-backed forces in 1961. He remains an icon of pan-Africanism and anti-colonialism, and his son believes that his outreach to the USSR forged a permanent link between Russia and the Congo that persists to this day, as it does in other African countries – like Mozambique and Angola – that .the Soviet Union backed during the Cold War..”
But there are some differences between Russia and Soviet Union.

Latest from Simplicius the thinker
Azov Commanders Return, 6th Column Goes Crazy
“I had thought that the war could last for several years, but given the latest developments, the desperate signals from the West regarding their ammo supplies, etc., it appears to me increasingly possible that without a major black swan event that Ukraine craves so much (like initiating WW3), they could potentially face collapse as early as the end of this year, if not over the course of this coming winter.”
