🌍 Are sanctions a tool of neocolonialism? African expert answers In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia has become Europe's leading economy despite the fact that it is subject to the largest number of sanctions in the world. Sputnik Africa asked Modeste Dossou, Beninese analyst and columnist, how Western sanctions work and why they are imposed on African countries. "It's more of a pressure tool [...] Take the case of African countries. Many African countries depend on Western aid. As a result, we are waiting for the West to do a lot of things. So when we deviate a little from the path and from what the West dictates to these African countries, when these countries decide to deviate a little, the sanctions strike quickly," the expert said.

At the same time, African countries should decide for themselves who exactly will represent the continent in the UNSC, the diplomat added. “We always listen carefully to their [African] opinions on issues affecting their fundamental interests. Undoubtedly, we will do the same this time,” Nebenzya emphasized. He also noted that the formation of a “truly multipolar world” is impossible without the inclusion of African states.
