#Russia_EU_Africa: The EU has apparently lost the information battle (hopefully not the war) with Russia in Africa. Senegalese President Sall (who also chairs the African Union) pointed out that due to sanctions on Russia, the African continent would be at risk of famine.⤵️
In his opinion, first of all, the de-Swift-ing of Russian banks would affect payments to Russia by African banks. Second, he stated that the sanctions have targeted Russian businessmen who are said to be involved in the fertilizer and crop trade with Africa.⤵️
Sall wants solutions with the EU before the rainy season to avoid food shortages and the destabilization of the African continent. This seems like a veiled warning from the EU about the possible humanitarian crisis caused by famine and the subsequent migratory flow from⤵️
Africa to the EU. Recently, the Mediterranean member states have expressed their concerns on the increase in illegal migration from Africa. Russia is determined to turn African states against the EU.
