to, to experience a most traditional way of life, the normally shows that language comes to where that wouldn't look out of place in a token novel for we are inside in the rest. and no more precisely, you know that i left school for the we keep spend 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 phone last soviet union, u. s. s, are those of us who

a student of history will remember the was an intimate relationship between the u. s. s. r, and form of freedom fighter. we will also remember that in many institutions of line in africa are the time the us aside was being seen as is the breeding ground of marxism leninism on many young africans colors, while our truck to, to the u. d r a g b we. and also remember that the russian revolution, the bolshevik revolution of 1900 done 17, is followed many african countries, which was under the yoke of western colonized nation. and therefore, when we talk about that history, it can never be seen without taking into account doc,

reality. russia all the us us are, as we knew it and it's for, before we have complete success that we did that idea and for that reason was seen as an important ally on one must ask why we must remember that african country is that all of them the 50 for them was been victimize by they had demonic unity in bowers. and when the 1900 on 17 river edition took place, many african leaders at the time who in the struggle was taking a cue from it. if you look, i sell it off with the for example, with the formation of the south african national native congress, which later became then see the guy didn't life was what had happened in the soviet union. in 1917 on bill was telling themselves we can actually

nobody tell us stubs from these go on your and if you look at the activities, even in nigeria with people like muscle a, there was sticking not q of from these activities at the time and even as the soviet union stopped to have its own in international affairs, it was seen very differently from western countries. first of all, it was not seen as the nicer, and it was not involved in the scramble for africa. so the soviet union was not present at byline. the soviet union did not top end. the 3030 that was blaming the soviet union was seen as the bus one of river lucian on the bus 10 of change, which also become people designed from the 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 $2.00? when the court will then came into the every now and we could very easily talk of by putting a lot of the west on the soviet union. so in many ways, when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 done for this through to 1950 is on the ultimate to 1906 to the not 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 for you do a logical reasons, but for support financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes ministry support on business, eastern side to be made. so when you look at follows us with us, 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 off because we don't fight as was corrupted to the soviet union. the soviet union was being seen at the time. i believe that are based on when we talk about soviet union, we must also remember at that time the great influence in countryside does hungry and countryside. just portland countries, such as is germany on when this color ships to i've been granted the movement to based, there was a lot of people from different parts of africa who then found themselves going to study in more school and in saint petersburg, at the behest of the soviet union, and that in itself, grow naturally because the freedom fighters of the day on one can name the one can name gum. i've given us that. when gum i didn't master was over throwing them

one king bed group. he inclined to watch the soviet union and didn't bid when the swan hi don was being built. it is the soviet who actually find the building of the asked one high down. and the q was also taken by point. i'm in oklahoma, when gun i'd gained independence in 1900 down 57. 1 of the things that's happened is that you wanted to build the muscle and with that, and of course 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, then they find out the cost of put them on. that is one of the reasons why in oklahoma, well then labeled as a communist. the same label was also born by how may the simplest way of getting it was very sympathetic to this of your style of when i was as was indeed has been valid. and you will 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, understand different socialism. and do you see it in uh, in, in, in chrome i, in the gonna, you see it and how i'm going to stick with today. and again, you'll see it in the more deep. okay. in the model and you see it and haven't been bella in. uh, jerry. yeah. you see it in the gum on the nice that are in, in, you know, he jumped, you see it in kenya, assistant of pepper number then on offer comes socialism at that time. what progress i might even ask you was very strong in kenya at that time. and even in those days, many people inclined to the whole idea of moving to a government on a system which was not the only capitalistic and you see it with. yeah, that it, when he talks about the i wish the collaboration is much more inclined to the views that i think too late that in the soviet union on 1 may say marxism leninism with

some africanized based on aspect of it. and later, the soviet union becomes account a weight account the way to a western wild depth. once the bid that audio, they want to tell you what to do, the ones that they knew who to be you a friend, they want to tell you what to trade with. i'm many people are saying, but we have retained our independence. why should we be treated like the lives of children? that's the question is being asked to buy, luna in the democratic republic, a phone book is being taught or you cannot ask for support, but luma says you have put me in a situation where the belgians want to remove from fall a 9 months after we have be gained or independence. they have a good day and we'll go through the recruiter because of all the good to jump on the vase that you went 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 dang job of communism getting into the house of

africa must be illuminated. and we now know that the card name used for the wound was saved. and he was referred to the states and because you will seem to have been inclined to watch the soviet union at that time. later, we also see the soviet union involved in the liberation movement. their bodies and 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 gotta be able to grab it. we've said that we who are losing that ease. we swear by the collection of golf, 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 on goal of civil war. when the south africans on the americans are involved crying to him for all his info as a phoebe, it is the soviet union. and the cubans who actually in subsidy that in ensuring that unborn law was not taken all of us. and it is important that the soviet union was not only involved in terms of trying to or ensure that us the complete on site as well. nobody in the kitchen, i reno after the submission of but priest, emily la moon. but you 1961, the friendship universities, the name, the little more about your new funds that the i think in moscow fund many africans then went to study at the patrice, emily, lumber friendship university, courtesy of the soviet union. when the soviet union collapsed, us and the country has been,

become what we now know them. and i've to put his truck on glasnost. and ultimately you have russia, russia, and fit it. ation is seen as the success of the soviet union. the russian federation is seen of the success of the soviet union, and that is why even as we continue, you know, while that we say is multi lateral, you begin to see that many african countries still gravitate towards this last year in the, on the funding there is i'm most thought that we knew that russia was their 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 for 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

it's the up the they remember when this and the acknowledge it in different countries in the continent of africa. and it is out of boston, those dodge. that is, what time may cause i revival on that renewal of friendship between why the number of countries on the gosh, 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 activities that have taken place in the site and 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 government in these, there, by governments, in modeling by a government in gwinnett cannot come to the saying, you, uh, i'll a friend in our, i'll meet on you,

our friend who did not tell us out to be a you loft with us with think that you can be a better friend, then are those 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 being 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 that it. and that is why it is intimate, intimate, because the soviet union was never, ever seen as color nice. never seen as people who scrambled on divided africa never seen as the parasite that takes off

because resources never seen as a the concrete that dictates the loss of gods, but seen as a friend with whom they can enjoy a symbiotic rather than a part of citrix 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 of the shock rate. see the

to the final stretch of the american presidential campaign, voters are presented with the proposition of who they most fear virtues that going . in fact, he was moralizing out showing policy discussions. we're to believe hitler is on the ballot. the as we continue to confess about the mazda of continent today we, i.
