✍️ Russia's President Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to heads of state and government of African countries on Africa Day
✉️ Please, accept my cordial greetings on #AfricaDay – a holiday symbolising the victory of African countries over colonialism and their striving for freedom, peace and prosperity.
African countries have scored universally recognised successes in the socioeconomic area and are playing an increasingly important role in resolving current international issues. The African Union and a number of sub-regional structures are expanding constructive cooperation, creating mechanisms for collective response to local conflicts and crises and consistently promoting integration processes.
Russia is paying special attention to strengthening friendly relations with African partners. We are united by our commitment to building a fair multipolar world order based on true equality and the international rule of law, and free from any form of discrimination, dictate and sanctions pressure.”
The Second Russia-Africa Summit held in St Petersburg last year certainly created conditions for enhancing productive and mutually beneficial cooperation in most diverse areas. I am confident that consistent implementation of the plans and agreements reached at that important multilateral meeting meets our common interests and contributes to ensuring stability and security in Africa.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement at a reception on the occasion of Africa Day (Moscow, May 23, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: #AfricaDay — a holiday which epitomises the unwavering will of the African peoples and their struggle in pursuit of freedom and human dignity.
This year, the holiday coincides with the 20th Anniversary of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council which is one of the main bodies of this pan-African organisation that plays a significant role in shaping the modern African security architecture and the political and socioeconomic integration of the continent’s countries, and ensuring its proper place within the international economic relations system.
🌍 We in Russia are pleased to note that Africa continues to gain political weight and to establish itself as a crucial pillar of the emerging multipolar order. Dynamic integration processes, rapidly growing markets, and business activity make it possible for the African states to play an increasingly meaningful role in international affairs and speak as one. <…>
Fighting the newly emerged colonial and neo-colonial practices has come to the forefront today. The Western methods have changed, but the thrust of its policy towards African countries has remained unchanged and is to bring them to its heel and to live at the expense of other countries using more sophisticated forms of exploitation as part of the rules-based order.
We remain willing, notwithstanding current circumstances, to support the African countries in their efforts to advance their sovereignty, to address pressing socioeconomic challenges, and to assert Africa’s rightful place as an equal partner in the modern world, including in the efforts to reform the UN Security Council.
<…>
The potential for Russian-African cooperation across all areas is truly vast. We will continue to work together to bring our relations to the level of a truly strategic partnership.

24 мая в России отмечается День славянской письменности и культуры - Российское историческое общество

The Slavonic Literature and Culture Day is celebrated on 24 May. It is dedicated to the day of memory of the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Cyril and Methodius, who united the fraternal peoples with a single written tradition.
The new alphabet was created in around 863. Scientists still have not come to a consensus whether it was Cyrillic, named after one of the brothers - Cyril, or Glagolitic (from the word "glagolit'", that is, "speak") .
According to one version, Cyril and Methodius created the Cyrillic alphabet, and later, on its basis, the students of Methodius came up with the Glagolitic alphabet in order to continue the spread of the Slavic script. According to another version, Cyril and Methodius became the authors of the Glagolitic alphabet, and then a student of Cyril named Clement of Ohrid composed the Cyrillic alphabet.
There was much in common between the two alphabets, they differed in style and were used by the Slavs in parallel. Gradually, the simpler Cyrillic replaced the Glagolitic in the south, and in the west it was replaced by the Latin alphabet.
Each Cyrillic letter had its own name, some of which formed semantic rows that helped students to quickly memorize the alphabet: “Az Buki Vedi” (meaning "I know letters"), “Glagol Dobro Est'” (meaning “Said word”, "Goodness", “Is” from “to be”).
Many modern Slavic alphabets have been created on the basis of the Cyrillic alphabet, as well as the alphabets of a number of other languages. The Slavonic Literature and Culture Day reminds us that the Slavic peoples have common origins, as well as the role of literacy in the spiritual development of people. On this day, scientific and creative events dedicated to Slavic culture are held, and festive services are held in churches.

🌍🎉 Africa Day: remembering some milestones in history of continent's development and recent achievements
In his celebratory address, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized that Africa has enormous potential due to its young and growing population, its abundant natural resources, its “breathtaking” beauty and cultural variety. At the same time, he underscored the need to continue to help the continent in its fight against climate change, conflict, hunger, extremism and other problems.
Although the continent is still dealing with some problems, they don't define Africa. What does define it is its steady and remarkable progress that the continent has been showing over those 61 years, despite many challenges it is facing.
Significant advances have been made in healthcare, the continent's technological development, economics and gender equality, among other things.

💬 25 мая во всём мире отмечается День Африки – праздник, символизирующий единство и победу африканских народов в борьбе за национальную независимость и выбор суверенного развития. Традиционно по случаю этой даты от имени Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации проводится официальный приём.
🌍 25 мая 1963 года было объявлено об образовании Организации африканского единства, положившей начало поступательному движению континента по пути политической и экономической интеграции. Продолжателем её дела выступает Африканский союз – один из ключевых игроков в современном мироустройстве, с 2023 года ставший членом «Группы двадцати» при активной поддержке Российской Федерации.
Сегодня развитие многоформатного, всеобъемлющего сотрудничества с государствами Африканского континента является одним из приоритетных направлений российской внешней политики. Второй саммит Россия – Африка, состоявшийся в июле прошлого года в Санкт-Петербурге, придал качественно новый импульс всему комплексу наших отношений со странами региона.
Президент Российской Федерации В.В.Путин назвал две прошедшие российско-африканские встречи «в верхах» в Сочи в 2019 году и Санкт-Петербурге в 2023 году «настоящим прорывом».
📄 На петербургском саммите были приняты итоговые документы, определившие магистральные линии нашего дальнейшего сотрудничества с континентом: политическая декларация и три секторальных заявления, а также План действий Форума партнёрства Россия – Африка на 2023-2026 годы.
<...>
🤝 Для регулярной «сверки часов» по вопросам комплексного развития российско-африканских отношений и подготовки следующего саммита в 2026 году учреждён новый диалоговый формат – министерские конференции Форума партнёрства Россия – Африка. Первый СМИД Россия - Африка с участием мининдел 54 африканских государств и руководителей региональных интеграционных объединений состоится в ноябре этого года в Сочи.

🌍 “Second liberation”: how is Africa fighting economic shackles of its colonial past?
Africa is reaching out to countries that do not preach neocolonial practices in order to achieve the second — economic — liberation after the previously achieved political one, Dr. Wuhibegezer Ferede, Associate Professor of Political Science and International Studies, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia, told Sputnik Africa.
One of the organizations, that could help the continent in this is, indeed, BRICS, according to the professor.

Africa is reaching out to countries that do not preach neocolonial practices in order to achieve the second — economic — liberation after the previously achieved political one, Dr. Wuhibegezer Ferede, Associate Professor of Political Science and International Studies, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia, told Sputnik Africa.
"Africa is still economically dependent on the post-colonial economic order. [...] [Thus, it] is really trying to address these challenges [of colonial legacy] through a form of mobilizing internal resources, and of course by creating an alliance with external actors who are really immune from this legacy of colonialism," he said.
One of the organizations, that could help the continent in this is, indeed, BRICS, according to the professor.
"You see, [due to] the dysfunctionality of the liberal international order [...] in terms of financial disorder and security disorder [...], Africans are really moving towards an alternative international arrangement. [...] So, BRICS will be an alternative source of finance to escape this strict conditionality," Ferede reckoned.
