is occupier significant place among these conditions? ridiculous, lose molly and political scientists and goal are they are a says western states have failed to provide africa with meaningful assistance in fighting terrorism. the west africa, different priorities on the continent, while western powers focus on groups to qualify a separatist. some terrorists were also groups of stainless separatist armies. obviously some western countries treated them well and that made it easier. this made it possible to establish links with terrorist groups, which obviously created huge problems. these countries were here with the mining companies exploiting the soil, but not helping to fight poverty to fight unemployment. the west does not provide real assistance to molly. the countries of africa had been planted by these multinational companies of the west and other powers, as a result of which these people find themselves in difficult situations. therefore, it turns into what has been called terrorism. desperate people always resort to

desperate act. we have focused on developing these countries, helping them to prosper and helping them to have a strong and efficient army. but the west is becoming less young. dom of africa. that was more and half an hour by the i m p o to move the he uh, the slider. uh, his joke on 7 see, and my truck was county and the republicans. and today we discussed the subject, which is as contentious as, as it is significant the question of the war and so done on the involvement of many external forces, those forces include the ukrainians, include the russians, some say event them either octaves on the proxy. it forces under,

of course, the involvement of those countries not only in the done but in other parts of africa and is important to $1.00 serves that in times such as these on the month the, such as these, the accusations on the account uh acquisitions which must be under to didn't context and the context that i want to bring, particularly with regard to the war in so done, is that there is a history to it. when so done, regained independence on wednesday. done was seen as a country that was either in each orientation with a significant african population. so don was never to use those lines. the close districts in the south. i get dated for a long time, which culminated in the independence of south to done in the 2011 after

many was the and yeah and yeah was, and it is also important that's often solved. so don, re gain the independent. there's been conflict in that fighter of the world in the nova mountains in the bloom niles and in the dive for egypt, but the most recent of the conflicts and didn't bid even before that during the doubtful wall. it was actually confirmed that the administration of a model, but she was sponsoring ida groups known as the agenda we to adopt the people and died from it is the john joe weeds that have no mosque into the outer assess which has innovated the government of sudan lead device and put it on on him meth, team stuff. who was part of the suit and he's on me, but he's now seen as the leader of the ss on this is where the accusations are

coming in. number one that i'm the been coming from ukraine on not only ukraine in other parts of this film was former soviet union. the even claims that they have been boots on the ground. and they have been claimed that there has been a recruitment of individuals from the outside, 80 and region. and when the conflict between russia and ukraine started, one of the things that came to the full was the one distinction between the russia on the west, in the 1900, the 9th is the undertakings was given to the russians. the nato would not expand to the east, and when is the nato countries, not the dix funding to they used with the byron enticement of the key of government to join the repeating union event. the cont, decisions applied

a totally different part of that context is important. for us to appreciate in order to run the on what has now been characterized the involvement of ukraine on even russia in the african continents. the most important thing that's happened recently and print it then default is when the government of molly accused ukraine direct that there was supporting inside agencies in molly and the being used to fight a proxy will in russia. and i remember the, the bus set out of ukraine was actually summoned into bama cool by the administration of a to be great. and there was told that if you don't stop participating in the insurgency in molly is then we are going to expand you and going to see but diplomatic ties. and they are quite a number of occasions and visited good. and it must be understood once to gain in

context, the russian involvement in many of these conflicts is seen to be a little different from the involvement of ukraine. seems to be different in visiting that it is best government of the central african republic, for example, that the invite the, the group because the y insurgency, that was fun said by multiple parties including the french. it is also the case that in countries such as booking alpha, so on, even in these it ones, the american side been expelled. it is these administration that invited the russian administration of the russian army to all 5 boats training and support. so the presence of russia, as opposed to the presence of ukraine, is seen and explain differently. but as it is in the methods of these a nature, they don't with the different arguments by both sides of the device that allows us

to examine the presence of russia. then we come to the presence of ukraine in the continent of africa. and particularly in the conference due to the conflict in so that a number which as we have said on said diamond time again, russia been under the soviet union was not the typical quarter nicer. and the reason passed after the collapse of the body in wall, there has been what is described as the russian soft file on visit. osh and soft file has been seen as the count, the weight to the traditional power of the western countries which retained the military basis in the continent of africa. the french with the ministry basis in different parts of the quarter. and these, the americans of cost expressing the powers through different small, di national agencies. and russia was not, in many of these cases,

participant in the intimate way is that the western powers wolf. and it is in this regard, therefore, that when the regimes which gained follow through what on the level of practically is called unconstitutional changes of power, the wind advising the russians to protect them. this invitation has been seen, as i've already indicated in central african republican bunkie. the bunky administration. you have seen this invitation in the government in nam may in is it on sometimes this happens, particularly in near may when they see the uranium mines on the friends well or does out on west on fonts as well or does out the nea may administration images that we don't have the capacity. therefore we are inviting a friendly power to train us and to offer as a temporary protection,

as we protect online so that russian presence is seen in thought to be good. of course, a little idea when uh, the webinar group. well, for a thing as an independent entity, there was seen to be almost in the nature of much entries, but with the depth of the leader, and that rationalization of their participation on the naming of the african quote . it is seen as the beach had for the russian administration to try and engage these particular countries and it is not lost on me that the russian for administer levels has been in those countries quite a bit with a view to explaining and deepening. that's the relationship. conversely, ukraine is not up by law in the mind that russia ease and didn't did one kind of say that even during the soviet era,

whenever one wanted to talk about the soviet union, the, as the name for the soviet union was the last year. so in the minds of many people, whenever you talked about the soviet union, you could as well even say, and rush on bill for us just stuck in people's mind in that regard. on when ukraine, the, a full is involving itself in the affairs of any african country is seen as fighting a proxy war on behalf of the western world. and the reason is very simple. even in this war that is going on in the united evening, going on and the united states of america is involved. the wisdom countries are involved. it is seen that ukraine is actually us yet for a war that is being prosecuted by nato. against that, i should, that being the case, even if there is the width of the presence in any country in africa, it is frowned up on the scene as

a thing on the b at the behest of the neil colonizers and the involvement is not welcome and that is the context in which we must understand the, the resentment we have seen in there is in fast, i think, in the 2023, the president of russia, if not made, put them into thing quite a number of african leaders and some of the institution that came out of those meetings was that the many african countries do actually support russia in these, well, whether it is right or not is another debate. but the russians are saying, what are the africans are saying, you have to do with us in times of difficulty. we know that the 5 to engage then is not to a fight. it is a fight that is being present cute to, to decimate you. and to control the was we have the full cost you, i locked with you. that is the position, but let us come to sit down. this was done. conflict is, is

a very confident due to the conflict, a concert in the sense that at the southern stage in the life of su, done during the administration of ahmad al. but she entered there was what was called z. i don't know, i buys this gentle islam so that when you are talking about islam it was not simply that you are fully aware of their religion. but you are also added up by the position of our i because the language and the why are you little like customized tutor at the who uh the intellectual weight on the think that's behind a minor in but sheer on when the john joe, we met the was then seeing it to be using the fi, up our, against the dark skin, the people in the food that gave the wall in so done

a totally different cut. and then that the 5th therefore is you have claims of libyans being in this space. you have claims of american through sutton support being in this space. you have claims of ukrainian being in this space and we know this other stuff has been recruiting young people across this. i had a problem as far as judge from us far as and these that these um, must synergies who are prosecuting the war against the brand government? and that is why it has not been easy to resolve this conflicts. we know, for example, there wasn't enough time to buy, you got to resolve this particular concept, but the, the brand government rejected the appointment of the canyon president on the ground that he was but his son. and we also know that there's been an attempt at resolution of this conference in gender, in saudi. i read the with the, so these are the americans playing the leading role that i shouldn't have been

muted in this particular month old was solutions, but the conflict is continuing the pace. and only in the last few days there was an attempt to involve uh, present this site as the fed will key of at least for you on the understanding that he does have some kind of connection with both him at the and put on all these happening at the time when that is great confusion and of course the names of russia and the names of ukraine, we'd always be there because of the ukrainians, if they don't have what's on the ground. also seen as a conduit of, of weapons. but particularly when you have the s k for the subsidy, the mix, we always look to that part of the supplies of the a k 47. so the situation is an interesting one that you have play as in the continent of africa. africa is once again, a sort of concept, russia expressing ourselves through soft power in southern cases,

even being allowed to establish ministry basis in southern cases, even being invited to take over the basis that i've been abundant by the west with that, that is a good or bad thing, the judy is bailout, but i hold the view that the relationship between the african countries and russia must be defined. it must be a relationship that is not one over dominance, but is one of collaboration and as concerns ukraine. i or the view that until now i have not seen evidence that they have been invited by in the african country to participate. and their participation is seen as one that has been procured by the neil colored eyes. and that is an unfortunate thing. and what one should see come only when you are invited. thank you very much let as a for the.
