Who assigned the US GOVERNMENT to be world police.

[JamesBrown-sieu]

African countries can decide for themselves who they want to be friend with. America should not be telling other countries who is good or bad for them. If Africa want to be friends with China and Russia, it is their right.

[jumaanerobinsonsr]

Now they're calling them terrorists because they don't want America military in Africa...I don't blame them

[PurpleChamelion-iyxe]

Russia treats us like EQUAL partners, with respect!

[Slolo-sh]

Proud of Africa for rejecting colonizations.

[johncmakumi]

This guy is very arrogant! When did Africa resources become an issue of America security?!!

[LukeJohn-ybcd]

“Mineral rich” key word. So she knows what Americans be doing . It’s ok, ERIN! African can choose whoever they want to do business with, whether it’s a business or exploitation. They have that choice

[DavidDuodu]

Tell Americans to leave our African's natural resources alone .

[ibraplanetlife]

Yeah. Because. Russia is not playing dirty games with African countries .

[ibiameze]

Can this man mention one Hospital or Road that the US built in Nigerien for the passed 10years or more that the US has been occupying that part of world? There is no evidence of such. So why the noise?

[aswagribusiness]

Hahahah this ambassador is a joke
The fact is Africa is awakening up now and nothing can stop Mother Africa 🙏🏾🇬🇭

[leobatard]

Africa say no to US imperialism and French imperialism.

[peternyirenda]

As an African, I have better regard for Russia than I have for the USA. Russia helped us during our darkest times, and YOU westerners caused those darkest times!

[ornellatherese]

Expropriate their resources hahaha. When France was getting it for free, it was never an issue.

[BruceJ]

Create a problem and provide a solution..You gotta love the U.S Army

[math]

Why didn't CNN say why the US were kicked out?

[mannogroneg]

Ya'll see what they've done to Haiti 🇭🇹, they sucked it dry. Mine you Haiti has a lot of Uranium, but some how magically the country is still poor... 🤔

[TuanTran-hf]

Africa realized that getting rid of their problems meant booting out America military.

[sidahagarwal]

😂😂😂 Africa can choose what they think is better for them like other western countries Who prefer US security

[lankyprepper]

It’s not your ally if you only see resources you can take. He literally just said that.
