Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso said that Africa could not remain silent in the face of the conflict in Ukraine. He said this during his three-day visit to Abidjan recently. About 13 agreements were signed in the fields of fishing, agriculture, livestock breeding, and tourism during the state visit to the Ivory Coast.
The remark comes just a few days before several of the continent’s heads of state, including Sassou Nguesso, are set to meet in Kyiv and Moscow to mediate. It also comes as concerns grow about Russia quitting the Ukraine deal allowing the safe wartime export of grain and fertilizers from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports.
