Africa Daily - What’s next for Africa after failed Ukraine grain deal?
Download What’s next for Africa after failed Ukraine grain deal?
“What I’m seeing is another way of Africa rushing with a begging plate, begging saucer.”
Last week, President Vladimir Putin held a Russia Africa summit in St. Petersburg.
Countries in attendance included Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Uganda, Senegal and Burkina Faso.
African leaders had hoped to persuade Moscow to revive the Ukraine grain deal - helping millions of people who might be affected by food insecurity.
But Putin refused to entertain the proposal.
He said the Black Sea Grain Initiative would be suspended until demands to get Russian food and fertilizer to the world are met.
So, where does this leave Africa?
