Premium Times published on 25 May 2022 a commentary titled "Why Africa Must Not Celebrate Russian Bombing of Ukraine" by Muleya Mwananyanda, Amnesty International deputy director for research in southern Africa.
This is a hard-hitting condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine by a Zambian who stated that "Africans need to understand that Russian aggression is as immoral and harmful as Western colonialism or imperialism." She added that "Africa risks going down a rabbit hole if it ignores the impact this invasion is likely to have on our continent's freedoms and development."
