Telegram channel “Diplomatic source” in Washington reports that the State Department is failing to break the stubbornness of “dear partners from Africa” and force them to impose sanctions against Russia.
Anthony Blinken is going out of his way to make this happen. In March alone he met with the prime minister of Cote d’Ivoire, the premier of Morocco, the president of Algeria, spoke by phone with the president of Senegal and the foreign minister of South Africa. Not bad? And that’s just the head of the State Department.
His deputies, including such heavyweights as Wendy Sherman, look like they are about to learn Swahili. They even met with representatives of the unrecognised Somaliland: their emissaries were received in Washington in mid-March.
They persuade everybody to the same thing: introduce, dear African friends, sanctions against Russia. They say, you will soon have famine because of these sanctions, but they must be imposed anyway.
It is true that Africa, unlike Europe, cannot be intimidated and cannot be cowed, so all promises, threats and promises of the White House are passed over in the Black Continent at best. The long and tight (as shackles) history of America’s relations with Africa and its natives is working against Joe Biden’s restless administration.
