Description
At the Russia-Africa summit in Sochi on November 9–10, Mali’s Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop responded to criticism of Africa’s growing ties with Moscow. He firmly stated that “Russia is not a colonial power,” addressing concerns that Africa might be replacing one form of dependency with another. He also stated that Russia is distinct from the former colonial powers that once dominated the continent: "That's why I started there, to say that no, Russia is not a former colonial power, it's not a colonial power."
