🎙Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks at the 46th meeting of the Council of Heads of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation under the Russian Foreign Ministry on interregional cooperation with African countries(April 8, 2026, Moscow) 💬 Russia and Africa are bound by long-standing and close ties. Today, the countries of the continent are striving to finally overcome the remnants of colonial dependence and to strengthen their national sovereignty, above all in the economic and financial spheres. Those who describe the current period as Africa’s “second awakening” after the decolonisation of the 1960s are right. It was then that political independence was proclaimed, above all thanks to the decisive role of the Soviet Union, which promoted the relevant declarations at the UN. ☝️Recent years have shown that neo-colonial dependence has by no means disappeared. Economically and financially, in terms of control over trade routes and financial flows, Africa still does not enjoy full independence and continues, in economic terms, to serve as a source of raw materials. 👉The lion’s share of added value is still generated elsewhere – to a large extent, and decisively so, in the former metropolitan powers. African partners spoke about this more than once at the two Russia-African Union summits held in Sochi in 2019 and in St Petersburg in 2023. The decisions adopted at those summits should serve as guidelines in preparing for the next summit, which we plan to hold later this year. All this will contribute to Africa’s economic emancipation, ensure that it reaps the proper returns and benefits from its natural resources, and support the emergence of the African continent as one of the centres of the rising #MultipolarWorld. 🤝 I would like to stress in particular that we are restoring our presence on the African continent fairly rapidly, after it declined sharply during the breakup of the Soviet Union. At present, Russia has 45 embassies operating across the continent, with four more set to open in the near future. The key upcoming event on the foreign policy calendar is the third Russia-Africa Summit. It is due to be held in Moscow – this has been agreed – in late October this year. Preparations are currently underway. We count on the active participation of Russian regions in the relevant thematic sessions of this summit. I would once again like to underscore the special importance we attach to the interregional dimension of Russia-Africa relations. It is a solid foundation which, as it grows stronger, helps ensure the steady development of relations with our partners at the national level. Read in full

📑🖊 OPINION | ‘Neoliberal and Authoritarian’? A Simplistic Analysis of the Maduro Government that Leaves Much Unsaid Steve Ellner dissects Gabriel Hetland’s simplistic critique of Maduro's government, calling it a one-sided take that ignores key facts. Hetland downplays the brutal impact of U.S. sanctions, like the blocking of bond negotiations and the Petro’s swift blacklisting, and misrepresents the government’s relationship with grassroots power. Ellner points to the 'Year of the Communes' and Ángel Prado’s appointment as proof of ongoing support for popular democracy. 🔗 Read the full opinion piece here: https://venezuelanalysis.com/opinion/neoliberal-and-authoritarian-a-simplistic-analysis-of-the-maduro-government-that-leaves-much-unsaid #Communes#NicolasMaduro#Sanctions

📝 INTERVIEW | Juan Lenzo: ‘We Need to Integrate the Communal Economy to Face the Capitalist Maelstrom’ Juan Lenzo, a Venezuelan activist, takes stock of the Communard Union’s current strengths and challenges, with a particular focus on consolidating the communal economy. Today, 117 communes are part of the Union. To strengthen economic planning, the organization is mapping grassroots productive activity and identifying opportunities to rebuild the communal economy after years of crisis. One of its flagship efforts is the “Patria Grande del Sur” project in Bolívar state: a 187,000-hectare initiative developed with Brazil’s MST and local campesino communities. The goal is to build a communal agroecological system in phases, from infrastructure to production and education. “We’re not trying to strengthen the old state, we’re building a communal one,” he said. 🔗 Read the full interview here: https://shorturl.at/wejdV #CommunardUnion#Communes
