The privately-owned Addis Herald published on 20 June 2022 an article titled "Russia to Build Closer Ties with Africa During the Second Russia-Africa Summit as It Pivots Away from the West."
The second Russia-Africa summit is scheduled to take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia during October-November 2022. This lengthy article by an unnamed author argues that Vladimir Putin's goal is "to undermine US hegemony and to gain international recognition for his regime." The author adds that "African nations have been among Russia's most loyal supporters since the conflict in Ukraine started."
