The West demands that African refuse to cooperate with Russia so as not to "get out of the general discipline," by which the West means restoration of the colonial dependence of the African continent in a new form. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a press conference following talks with his counterpart from Eritrea, Osman Mohammad.
"We know that American, British and other European delegations regularly visit Africa, and insistently demand from African countries not to cooperate with the Russian delegation, not to get out of the general discipline, by which the West understands the restoration, by and large, of colonial dependence, but already in a new form," the minister said.
"No mentoring visits, no hybrid wars of the West (including in Ukraine) will be able to stop the development of new centers of economic power, financial and political influence," Lavrov stressed.
