Re: Macron Dueling With Lavrov on African Tour (none / 0)

Five months after the start of the war in Ukraine, the French president continues to raise his voice against the policy of Vladimir Putin, affirming that "when we say things and try to qualify them", "we give the means" to influence events.
Since his arrival in Africa, in Cameroon on Tuesday then in Benin on Wednesday, he has thus multiplied criticism of Moscow while, at the same time, the head of Russian diplomacy Sergei Lavrov, was also on an African tour to affirm his attachment to the continent.
"Russia is one of the last colonial imperial powers" by deciding "to invade a neighboring country to defend its interests there", said Emmanuel Macron during a press conference with his Beninese counterpart Patrice Talon in Cotonou.

Borrell Tour of the "Great Powers" (none / 1)

In an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena SER on Tuesday

Sobre una posible influencia de la propaganda rusa en terceros países: "Hay demasiadas voces que dicen eso. Incluso a veces los medios occidentales hacen de caja de resonancia de lo que dice Rusia. Hay una cierta tendencia a escuchar al enemigo, al adversario. Algunos países africanos han comprado el discurso de Putin. Por eso nosotros tenemos que redoblar los esfuerzos de explicación. Las mentiras circulan más aprisa que la verdad"
Borrell touched on the Russian foreign minister's recent tour of Egypt, DR Congo, Ethiopia, and Uganda, saying: "Lavrov goes to Africa and tries to persuade the Africans that sanctions are to blame for all that's happening... and the whole of the Western media repeats it. ... I go to Africa to say the opposite, that sanctions have nothing to do with it, and nobody picks it up," he lamented.
