AFRICA STORIES : ANTI-RUSSIAN RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT UNITED NATIONS

As expected a UN general assembly resolution asking Russia to withdraw from Ukraine was adopted recently. Vast majority of Africa's 54 countries, following the principle of respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, voted for this resolution. This includes even countries that have good relations with Russia such as Nigeria and Egypt.

But there were some exceptions to the rule...

The francophone African nations that recently ditched French troops in favour of Russian "Wagner" mercenaries abstained or voted against the anti-Russian resolution or did not vote at all. These include Mali, Burkina Faso and Central Africa Republic.

African nations governed by political parties with ties to defunct USSR such as South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Algeria, Zimbabwe, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau,Tanzania and Republic of Congo abstained or did not vote at all. (Republic of Congo must not be confused with the much larger Democratic Republic of Congo, which voted for the resolution.)

Countries such as Uganda, Sudan, Eritrea, Gabon, Togo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia and Burundi that are just beginning to build closer ties with Russia following Sergei Lavrov's robust diplomacy also abstained or voted against the UN resolution.

Outside Africa, many countries that have good relations with Russia voted for the anti-Russia resolution. These include Argentina, Indonesia, Serbia, Hungary and even Brazil, which belongs to the BRICS. The entire Indian subcontinental nations (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) abstained from voting for the anti-Russia resolution.

Despite the successful passing of this UN resolution against Russia, I can confidently say that NATO countries will still not be able to get any non-Western country to place sanctions on Russia or to cut ties with her.

It is one thing to get people to vote for "territorial integrity", it is another to get them to follow up with some punitive measures.

NO Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 18th September 2025

As I am sure most of you know I am currently in the United States attending the wonderful Integrity In Media in Chicago.

Unfortunately that means that I do not have the time to do our weekly Live Stream today.

If I can reschedule for some other day I will let everyone know but I have to say that for the moment I think that is unlikely.

I will in any event be back in London over the weekend and very much look forward to doing the Live Stream again on Wednesday,

Meanwhile, BEST WISHES to you all....

The government story about the shooting of Charlie Kirk is full of holes. Those who said in the first day or two that the evidence for the story is "solid" have been naïve. After the kind of scrutiny that Candace Owens provides, the Fed's account smells fishy as hell. They do not provide times when Robinson's activities occurred, making in impossible to construct a time line. The text messages between Robinson and his alleged roommate and lover, Lance Twiggs, sound like they were made up by cops. Twiggs was suspiciously released while the cops were still searching his house, making it look like Twiggs is being protected. The pictures of Robinson at the Utah State campus, where he was all day are so grainy that they cannot be clearly identified. All of Candace's suspicions could easily be debunked if the Feds would provide information which they should have. What they would like to do is say "We got him, case closed, turn the page". ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
