As black people who have endured thousands of years of abuse, colonization, slavery, apartheid, and looting of our natural resources we feel deeply about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Not only because we have a more obligation to support a democratically elected government but also because no foreigner should have the right to invade other countries.
Kenya registers its strong concern and opposition to the recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states,” the country’s Ambassador Martin Kimani said during a UN Security Council meeting late on Monday. Ghana soon joined in and condemn Russia for its evil attempt to establish the 19th-century colonization of other countries and many are now calling for sanctions.
South Africans’ reaction to the situation
Mzansi is doing what it knows best, using humor to boost the morale of an otherwise dire situation. One person has commented Russian president has asked South Africa, what do you mean by EATING RUSSIANS? the answer is we ate them all day every day.
Another one has suggested, “Send Operation Dudula to remove foreigners who are trying to invade Ukraine”. While others have suggested sending the criminals who were involved in the Rosettenville robbery, they will find a job without a CV.
But regardless, Africa stands with the people of Ukraine.
