I was pressed on the side of the Russia and Ukraine conflict.

According to the Associated Press on the 20th, the rotating chairman of the African Alliance and the President of Senegal Maki Sale said on Tuesday that Africa "does not want to become a breeding place for the New Cold War." The Associated Press said that the remarks were implying that the leaders of the African mainland were facing increasing pressure and asked them to choose the side stations on the Ukrainian issue.

It is reported that many African countries are seriously dependent on Russia and Ukraine. In the case of global food, Western countries have accused Russia of "taking food as weapons." The Russian side has stated that the real reason for the potential global food shortage is sanctions on Russia, not Russia's actions.

So far, Africa has maintained a certain degree of neutrality on the Ukrainian issue: about 25 countries have condemned Russia's resolutions earlier this year to discard or not participate in voting.

"I come here and want to say that Africa has endured enough historical burden," Saller said at the United Nations General Assembly. "There is no want to be the breeding place of the New Cold War, but hopes to become the basis of mutual benefit to all partners open to all partners. Provide a world of stability and opportunities. "

He said: "We call on Ukraine to ease and stop hostile operations and reach a solution through negotiations to avoid the catastrophic risk of potential global conflicts."

Sale also emphasized that Africa is a "determination to cooperate with all partners" to meet the mainland of its own needs. He said that in this mainland with a population of 1.4 billion, more than 600 million people lack electricity. During the popularity of the new crown pneumonia, the African continent was severely hit by the global economic downturn, the remittance stopped flowing, and the tourism industry was stagnant.

Salle said that, given that Africa is "polluting the least and is the most backward in the process of industrialization", it should be allowed to develop its oil and gas resources.

He called on Western countries to provide funds to transform Africa into a cleaner energy structure, but this should not be regarded as "assistance". On the contrary, it should provide funds to Africa for global unity. "In exchange for the efforts of developing countries to avoid pollution development models, this model has put the earth into the current climate crisis."

According to the Kremlin website, Russian President Putin met with Salle in Solc in June, and the chairman of the African Alliance Commission Musa Faki Mohammed also attended the meeting. The two sides discussed the coordination and cooperation between Russia and the African Union, including expanding political dialogue and economic and humanitarian cooperation.
