The Kremlin is conducting a large campaign in Africa to lure the US ally to its side - the media

Journalists write that the Kremlin is trying to spread its propaganda in Africa, where the West's positions have weakened. Pro -Russian media begin to work there in exchange for military assistance. Russia is actively trying to persuade Uganda on its side in confrontation with the United States.

Thus, during a meeting with the representatives of the Ministry of Defense Uganda, the Ambassador of Russia Vladlen Semivolos and the head of the Ideology Department of the Embassy Yevhen Kalashnikov asked to show Russian news on television. Instead, the Russian Federation will supply its shock helicopters at the accelerated pace. About it writes Wall Street Journal.

It is reported that now the most popular television company of the Ugandan Radio Language Corporation shows millions of residents of the Kremlin news. They tell about the "successes" of Russia in the war against Ukraine, as well as that all the problems of Africa are to blame. In addition, as stated in the material, the so-called "back office" was formed, which is dealing with the opposition of the current government.

Journalists write that in the WhatsApp group, high -ranking public relations officials are sending local media to the publication of pro -Russian articles depicting the West weak and Moscow is a more reliable partner. The publication writes that the representatives of the Uganda government and the Ministry of Defense deny their assistance to Russian propaganda. And the Semivolos, the Russian ambassador, the Russian embassy and Kremlin representatives did not respond to requests.

Journalists noted that in recent years the United States has lost its influence in Africa. This took advantage of the Russian Federation and took the initiative. Russian companies have invested in military, mining and energy projects in several countries. Moreover, it is reported that many African countries retain strong ties with Moscow, which began to be established by the Soviet Union, which supported the movements for independence during the Cold War.

Russian mercenaries operated in unstable countries, including the Central African Republic, Mali and Sudan. Earlier, Focus wrote that the media reported that mercenaries had seized the African country, making it a vassal of Russia. Journalists write that the President of the king is actually controlled by Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group. They help him retain power, and instead get the opportunity to pump resources from the country.
