The New York Times published on 3 March 2022 an article titled "Shunned by Others, Russia Finds Friends in Africa" by Declan Walsh and John Eligon.
The article identifies a number of African countries that one might have expected would condemn Putin's war in Africa but either abstained or did not vote. They include South Africa, Morocco, Ethiopia, Senegal, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Comment: While the article tends to be critical of African countries, more than half of them (28 out of 54) did vote to condemn Russia's invasion. Even Egypt, which has strong ties with Russia, voted for the resolution. The only African country to completely embarrass itself and support Russia's invasion was Eritrea.
