Black Africans being beaten severely! Now these pictures from the Ukraine have not been verified. But if they are legit of Russians beating and otherwise abusing African students in the Ukraine I am sure that this all will go over like a lead balloon in Africa.
In the Cold War Russia was a big player in West Africa and particularly Angola where they sent a lot of their Cuban allied doctors. They generally had a good rep and even today Angola 's flag has the hammer and sickle.
If these pics and reports of Russian mercenaries going on rampages against the populaces are true; the Chinese will certainly benefit.
How all this will impact Namibia and Recaf remains to be seen. But I am keeping an eye out for any opportunities from it.
