“SEE CLEARER”

Emphasizing that “Paris dreams of showing interest in Africa and warning other countries, especially Russia and China,” Zaharova continued as follows:

“Paris determines the countries that blindly adopt the official route of France, even tolerating military coups. It is shown that countries that carry out an independent policy other than the orders of the Elysée Palace violate freedom and democracy. Pressure is being put on these countries. However, the African public, the youth, the political elites of many African countries are seeing more and more clearly how contradictory and arrogant is the attitude of Paris towards this continent.
