AFRICA STORIES: ANTI-RUSSIAN RESOLUTION AT UNITED NATIONS (STATISTICAL BREAKDOWN)

Yesterday, I wrote about the passing of a UN General Assembly resolution asking Russia to withdraw from Ukraine by majority (~73%) of the 193 countries that constitute the United Nations. Among those who voted for the "anti-Russia" resolution were Brazil, Indonesia, Argentina and Saudi Arabia. Every single one of these mentioned countries have good relations with Russia, especially Brazil which is part of the BRICS

Breakdown of the reaction to the UN resolution Among All 54 African countries:

  • 30 voted for the resolution (56% of African countries)
  • 15 voted to abstain (28% of African countries)
  • 7 didn't bother to cast any vote (13% of African countries)
  • 2 voted against the resolution (4% of African countries)

As seen above, 56% of African states for the resolution asking Russia to withdraw from Ukraine.This is not a measure of hostility, but one of principle (i.e. respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity).

However, the remaining 47% of African states decided to either vote against the resolution; voted to abstain from the resolution; or did not even bother to attend UN General Assembly where the vote was taking place.

So why did a significant minority of African states refuse to throw Russia under the metaphorical bus? The answer to that question can be found by clicking at the link below:

Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 5th August 2026 at 14:00 EDT, 19:00 London time

As you all I know I have returned from a stiumulating visit to the United States, where I met many old friends - including and first and foremost members of our Locals Community who were kind and generous enough to travel all the way to Chattanooga and to join us for the 1776 Law Centre Convention - and where I learnt a great deal.

We can absolutely talk about all of that in our Live Stream today.

Briefly and in summary, for all its many well known problems - which we discuss extensively on our Live Streams - I found the United States from every point of view - economic and political - in much better shape than Europe. By way of example, there is still debate and dissent about the current political course in the United States at every level of the political system to an extent which is unknown in Europe. In addition the Constitution and the traditions of the country still provide levels of personal protection to those with dissenting views which simply do not exist elsewhere in the ...

Scott Ritter: "Vladimir Putin is the ultimate chess player. He has waited until the board is where it needs to be to make the attack on the king. He is now making his final attack." As a long-time chess player myself, I would say that he has done what top chess players do, which is accumulate small advantages rather than launch a risky attack on the king, until a position is reached where such an attack is no longer risky but certain to succeed.

We may also be seeing a situation in West Asia where a similar complete defeat of the US empire is approaching, ending with the the disintegration of the Zionist colonial entity that calls itself "Israel". These twin defeats will mark the end of the US empire, which is that last stage of the five hundred year old Anglo-European colonial empire. In its absence, and suffering an economic depression caused by the endless wars of imperialism, it can be hoped that the people of the United States and Europe will find non-imperialist leaders who will ...

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.
