An African view on Ukraine

As Africans, we don't want the war in Ukraine to continue. Russia has legitimate security concerns. But instead of addressing them, the opposite has happened. NATO has been expanding its lines, NATO has been trying to consolidate its positions in Eastern Europe, up to the Russian border. What did you expect Russia to do, sit idle and watch? Would the USA or Europe accept that situation? Who in the world would accept that to happen? Writes Dr. Fred M'Membe, president of the Socialist Party of Zambia.
