“We caution countries not to break those sanctions,” the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield said, warning of that they stood the chance “of having actions taken against them.”

    Linda Thomas is such as priviliged twat. Telling the poorest people on earth that they need to bow to American orders.

    I love how US thinks that they can dictate to other countries whom they can trade with.

    Why does Africa need to import gran at all? Are there no grain farms there? Its a whole fucking continent.

      Many decades of imperialist extraction by the west is the answer. Institutions like IMF forced countries to plant crops for export instead of ones that could feed their people in order to get loans, western powers assassinated politicians who tried to make their countries self sufficient, US ran coups, death squads, and CIA ops to destabilize things, and so on.

      Hopefully Africa can finally shake off the shackles of the western empire now.

        Yup. They’re not underdeveloped they’re overexploited.
