a good division with no real live indians fixtures designed to simplify. it will confuse really once a better wills and is it just because it shows you a few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the

the we a cube bend to stay in campbell county in limo . and today we want to discuss the history, the long history you may as it between the african continent and the former soviet union. u. s. s. are those of us who a student of history will remember, there was an intimate relationship between the u. s. s. r, and form of freedom fight. we will also remember that in many institutions

of line in, in africa are the time the usaa side was being seen, as is a breeding ground of marxism leninism on many young africans colors, while our truck to, to the u. d. all. and we will also remember that the russian revolution, the bolshevik revolution of 1917 is but many african countries which was under the yoke of western color nice ation. and therefore, when we talk about that history, it can never be seen without decking into account doc, reality. russia, all the us is our, as we knew it and it's for before we have complete success, which is that i just didn't finish them. was seen as an important ally on one must

ask why we must remember that african country is that all of them. the 54 of them was been victimize by the hedge, a monic you to the powers. and when the 1900 on 17 resolution to praise many african leaders at the time who in the struggle was taking a cue from it. if you look at solace off with the, for example, with the formation of the south african national native congress, which later became then see the guy didn't, i was what had happened in the soviet union in 1917. and bill was telling themselves we can actually do better. you tell us stuff from these colonial yoke. and if you look at the activities, even in nigeria with people like mckelvey there was sticking not q of from these

activities at the time. and even as the soviet union start to have its own in international affairs, it was seen very differently from western countries. first of all, it was seen at that point. oh, nice. and it was not involved in this cromwell for africa. so the soviet union was not present at byline. the soviet union did not top ended 3030 that was blaming the soviet union was seen as the bus can of revolution on the bus june of change, which african peoples designed from the cologne, new york. and of course, we know that from 1900 on 17 of cost in the fast, why do all the role of the soviet union was not as prominent as it became after the world war 2. when the card was then came into the arena and we could very easily talk of by paula awyle, the west on the soviet union. so in many ways,

when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 on for this through to 1950 is under ultimately 1906 is the not trying to lie. was seen to be the soviet union for a number of reasons. if you look at the african national congress in south africa, many of the freedom fights as well gravitating towards the soviet union not only live full if you are not, you could reasons, but for support, financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes ministry support on dispositions had to be made. so when you look at south africa, you'll find that there was a very intimate relationship between the soviet union and the african national congress. and it was not only confined to that. you will note that in the very early days of this trial, going to 1950 is a lot of of the conflict don't fight as was attracted to the soviet union. the

soviet union was being seen at the time. i believe that of based on when we talk about soviet team and we must also remember at that time the great influence in countryside does hungry and countryside just fall and gone through such as in germany on when this call a ship to i've been granted the movement for the east, there was a lot of people from different parts of africa who then found themselves going to society in more school and in saint petersburg, at the behest of the soviet union. and that in itself grow naturally because of the freedom fighters of the day on one the name, the one for name gum. i've been nicer when dumb i didn't. master was over throwing the one that killed king sloop. he inclined to watch the soviet union and didn't bid when the swan hi don was being built. it is the soviets who actually

find on the building of the us one item. and the queue was also taken by plumbing room. when gun i'd gained independence in 1957. 1 of the things that's happened is that you wanted to build the costs of them without out of costs . at that time, he approached several western countries. they did not agree. and when he told the i'm now going to the soviet union, ben, verify not the person but them. and that is one of the reasons why in oklahoma, well then labeled as a communist. the same label was also born by heart medicine. ray of guinea was very sympathetic to the soviet style of when i was, as was indeed has been bad. and you want to see at the time, because the soviet union talked about communism. there was something that was beginning to emerge in africa called me will not lose them on scientific socialism . and do you see it in uh, in, in, in chrome uh,

in the gonna you see it and how mississippi to day and again you see it in the more deep. okay. in the model and you see it and haven't been bella in a jetta. yeah. you see it in the government denies cetera, in, in, in no, he jumped, you see it even in kenya, sufficient or nothing. but then on offer comes socialism at that time. we progressed on monday, north sky was very strong in kenya at that time. and even in those days, many people inclined to the whole idea of moving to a governance system, which was not the one, the capitalistic. and you see it with that. when he talks about dad, we show the collaboration. he is much more inclined to the views, the articulated in the soviet union. and one may say marxism leninism with some african nice vision aspect of it. and later, the soviet union becomes account. wait account,

the way to was done while the for want the bid that audio, they want to tell you what to do. the one to 10 you who to be you a friend, the one to tell you what the trade with on many people are saying, but we have retained our independence. why should we be treated like the lives of children? that the question is being asked by luna? in the democratic republic of phone book is being thought, oh, you cannot ask for support, voluminous stays. you have put me in a situation where the belgians want to remove from power 9 months after we have be gained or independence. they have record that and will go to the recruitment because of all the drum, but on the of oz d u. and to assist me and you don't want to assist me. i'm now asking the soviet union to assist me. and of course, they say that the danger of communism getting into the heart of africa must be illuminated. and we now know that the code name used before the wound was saved.

and he was referred to satan because he was seen to have been trying to watch the soviet union at that time. later. we also see the soviet union involved in the liberation movement. invalidation movements which cannot be finalized or cannot be granted by other parts of the was particularly western europe and it is said, i think it is somewhat a moist as my cell and robot god be and will god. but we said that we who are for new synergies, we swear by the collection of cove, big k, 40 k 47. this was the weapon of choice for all the struggle for independence. and do they also see that the, the involvement of the soviet union in was the big through supply obama. we see the involvement of the soviet union event during the goal of civil war. when the south africans on the americans are involved, crying pro is imposed. phoebe,

it is the soviet union and the cubans who actually, and succeeded in ensuring that on board was not taken all of us on it is important that the soviet union was not only involved in terms of trying to i saw the of the con suite on site as well. nobody in the kitchen. i reno after the submission of patrice emily in the moon, but you 1961, the friendship universities the name, the little more about your new funds that the i think it was under many africans then went to study a de patrice, emily, lumber, friendship university, courtesy of the soviet union, when the soviet union collapses and the country is then become what we now know them. and i've to put this truck on to glasnost. and ultimately you have russia, russia unfinished and is seen as the subsets of the soviet union. the russian

federation is seen of this stuff solved the soviet union, and that is why, even as we continue, you know, while that we say is multi lateral, you'll begin to see that many african countries still gravitate towards this russia in the, on the funding there is i'm most thought that we knew that russia was the own car of the soviet union. we knew that the most call was a friendly site on the full plaza, a number of countries, even in this day and age. remember the days when the soviet union, the stop wanted the freedom fighting movement. the i remember those days when they support the people through education, they remember those days when they sent the technology in even in places such as if the up, the, they remember when this and the technology in different countries in the continent of africa. and it is out of boston,

those dodge. so that is what i may call revival on the renewal of friendship between why the number of countries on the dash on what i'm seeing is it quite a bit densely incent, pronounced the country public with the new administration. one see, quite evidently in there isn't active with these that have taken place in the sy, in the and region. and you can see the presence of russia old bit off for innovation over us. you buy a government in the side of the region by a government in booking of us, so by a government in these there, by governments, in money, by government indicating it cannot be the saying, you uh, our friend in our, i'll meet on you, our friend who did not tell us how to be a you loft with us. we think that you can be a better friend than the others who claim they are friends,

but they want to tell us how to govern ourselves. and you can now see the kind of relationship is been a good point on our relationship. and the russians are responding in the context of the history. and the relationship is one that is built on in did the relationship between the soviet union and now russia is like a tree which has been what had with the bladder. so the data on that is why it is intimate, intimate, because the soviet union was never, ever seen. i've called and i've never seen as people who scrambled on divided africa never seen as a part of a site that takes off because resources never seen as a a concrete that dictates do also got sp seen as

a friend with whom they can enjoy a symbiotic that rather than a septic relationship, that is the context of don, very long history. we continue with the conversations about the continent of africa, but we will come again after a short break. see the, what is part of the, the employee was posted. isn't the defense you of us entered in the word or is it something deeper or complex might be present good. let's stop without cases let's go products.
