The summit, intended to showcase Russia’s diplomatic push to increase influence on the continent, is taking place amidst a significant boycott: only 17 out of 55 African countries will be represented by their leaders at the event scheduled for July 27-28.
The arrogance of this man. “Sure, we’re forcing your people to starve, but forget about that. Come to our 100% bullshit-free summit on How Russia is Making the World a Better Place.”
It would be nice if the ones who attended used the opportunity to tell him off in person.
That is assuming the leaders care about their people.
