US Act against Russia threatens relations with Africa

There's mounting concern in South Africa about proposed US legislation that could punish African nations for maintaining close relations with Russia.
Pretoria's Ambassador to Russia has already raised concerns about the challenges South Africa could face. Ambassador Mzu-vukile Maqetuka is quoted in an interview with Sputnik News as saying South African embassy workers in Moscow have had their Russian bank accounts closed and bank cards no longer work. Nick Harper reports from Washington.

Breakaway from the dollar and back our currency with our resources.... Unite Africa with one currency....

"american objectives and interests" destroyed Libya, afghanistan, iraq, syria. and in all that, Russia came to the resque of africa and middle east. it will be againsts africa's interests and peace and stability to be dictated to by america. we would rather cut ties and start anew.

As a continent Africa - if it stands firm against the hypocritical west - will be in far better geopolitical circumstances in the long run. The west is declining and the BRICS nations are rising. If the African nations submit to US pressure and Russia loses this conflict the Americans and Europeans will try to 'divide and rule' the continent in order to bleed the continent dry of its natural resources.

Africa should take this as an opportunity to cut ties with the US.
They can start by selling their oil with another currency that is not the US dollar.

Please US and Europe withdraw your aid. Time for Africans to gain wisdom about their own shortcomings.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT "RUSSIA" EVEN MORE. ✊🏾

We are happy the way we are and we don't want the US to assist or pretend to care about our affairs. We are not blind or stupid. It has never been about Africans but the US interests in Africa. So keep your US and let Africans engage with Russia

american objectives shouldnt be in america. why are they based in other peoples territories.

[eliasabera]

I can't believe Africa still can't find her voice and sovereignty! Because of US and Russia foreign policy fights, just leave us alone! You already caused us so much pain, suffering, colonialism and took our resources! What left now? No More! AFRICA UNITED

its hard for me to know where white south african interests lay alongside black south africans from a national standpoint

[Shege]

Africa doesn’t need protection from aggressors disguising as protectors. Just stay out of their affairs.

[decosh]

The motherland will rise up and it starts now, as the saying goes last will be the first to rule,

[shepherdramaboa]

we died long ago on western americans berlin and even from transatlantic slave trade. the hyenas became sheeps now we see their real image

[dawidewi]

This will backfire big time. The eagle will wake up the sleeping lion.
