Ukraine's bid to recruit fighters from Africa sparks uproar
2022-03-09
[DW] Nigeria, Senegal
... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees...
and Algeria have criticized Ukraine's efforts to enlist international fighters as it resists the Russian invasion. Analysts say those who have responded to the call need to reconsider.


Russia's war on Ukraine is barely two weeks old, but Kyiv is already attracting potential imported muscle from as far away as Kenya.

#13  I even look Ukranian in the fog of war so I will blend into them.

Oh, Lordy! I'm rolling here, Dron. I say go ahead and send it. You may get some cash out of the deal. Pro-tip: Offer to kick back a little, 10-15% is customary. I believe the Russian phrase is "I would show my gratitude".

Russia Finds Friends In Africa
New York Times

March 3, 2022

At the United Nations on Wednesday, South Africa was among 24 African countries that declined to join the resounding vote denouncing Russian aggression: 16 African countries abstained, seven didn’t vote at all and one — Eritrea — voted against it, keeping company only with Russia, Belarus, Syria and North Korea.

#6  Dear Mr Zelensky,

I am a royal of the family of Abubakr. I wish to come and fight for Ukraine as I belive they my peeple too. I even look Ukranian in the fog of war so I will blend into them. But my ticket cannot process as the payment is stuck because of bank sanctions imposed by America. I would like to send you the money for my ticket so you can buy it for me and then I can com there. Please share your bank account number with me, and your pin and i will rally up enough troops from my country to come fight Putin. Look forward to your account details.

Chief son of Mohamadu

#5  At least he has Sweden in his corner. Oh wait
Sweden's centre-left prime minister has ruled out applying to join Nato, saying that membership would destabilise the security of northern Europe. Afte

#4  That just tells me it's scorched earth for Zelensky. He doesn't give a shit for Ukraine. Know who imports Africans to work/fight/whatever? Someone who doesn't give a fuck for his country.
