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:

Some justice at least

IDF terrorist arrested and prosecuted in Morocco for committing war crimes in Gaza. Moroccan prison will NOT be a nice place for this demon, especially when the inmates find out why he's there.
Moroccans aren't very forgiving to people who harm children. Look at what happened in Amsterdam when those arrogant demons ran their mouths.

Trump's False Claim: Panama Canal Is Not Under Chinese Control

Wednesday, 22 January 2025 10:36

Tehran (IP) - Donald Trump has claimed in his speeches that the Panama Canal is under Chinese control and that American ships are heavily taxed, but these assertions are incorrect and overlook historical and legal realities.

Big picture: These false claims not only misrepresent international relations and the status of the Panama Canal but could also escalate tensions and misunderstandings between the United States and other countries, particularly China. The Trump administration appears to be leveraging these inaccuracies to stir nationalist sentiments in the U.S., despite the fact that the Panama Canal has been under Panamanian control since 1999, with no country, including China, involved in its management.

Key points:

  • False Claims: Trump asserted that 38,000 Americans died during the construction of the Panama Canal, while the actual number is around 6,000, with only 300 ...

Ben Shapiro and people like him convincing Americans to blame others instead of EVERYONE in Washington and on Wall Street for their many and multiplying problems are America's real enemy.

China has the largest industrial base, world class infrastructure, safer streets, and better education, not because China took it from America, but because people like Shapiro have convinced Americans to spend their time and energy on hate, paranoia, and confrontation instead of building up their own country and cooperating with others.

Before you parrot Shapiro's talking points, ask yourself what you really know about China rather than what you've been told about it by those profiting from hatred of China.

Loss of Russian energy supplies triggered ‘sky-high costs’ – EU commission chief

Doing away with cheap fossil fuel deliveries from Moscow has come at a price, Ursula von der Leyen has said

Energy prices have skyrocketed across the EU due to the disruption of cheap supplies from Russia, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen has said.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, von der Leyen said that before 2022, the EU was receiving 45% of its gas and 50% of its coal from Russia, while Moscow was one of the bloc’s largest oil suppliers. “This energy appeared cheap, but it exposed us to blackmail,” she said.

Von der Leyen went on to claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cut us off his gas supplies” after the conflict in Ukraine erupted in February 2022.

“Our gas imports from Russia went down by roughly 75%. And now we import from Russia only 3% of our oil, and no ...
