Yes, I am not African but I can relate to this. European powers have stolen from Africa for centuries and enjoyed lucrative contracts since the post colonial period. Why do they begrudge our Russian friends so much.

Russia advertises itself as pro-confederate to Americans, anti-colonial to Africans, anti-gay to conservatives, and anti-nazi to liberals🤣

just cause you have an ally does not mean you have to give up your culture for free sandwiches.

Fellow Africans, be careful of what you wish for.
Russians did colonized all the republics that made up Russia of today. Russia was weak during colonial era to colonize distant lands of Africa except lands closer to them.
Do we think the Chenchyans, Siberians, Dagestanis and eastern Russians want to be part of Russia. No.
If Russia had colonized any African country, such country would have never had independence till today. In fact, such colony would be annexed forcefully and absolved just like Kaliningrad.
China colonized and then forcefully annexed Tibet and Xinjiang (Uygur). Both Russia and China want to take more land.

Russia welcome in Africa, seems a disinformation sponsored by Anglo-Saxons using a black face reporter;if France and America England will be in Africa why not Russia? Russia is not a threat to Africa like France, America English, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Germany etc?
