🇹🇷🌍 Turkey has around 44 embassies across Africa and so is no stranger to the continent.
In January, the foreign minister went ahead with a five-nation visit to Africa, which took him to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Gabon and Sao Tome and Principe, where he reassured support for the continent. South Africa was in the news recently with regard to the earthquake.
The spokesperson for the South African Police Service (SAPS), Colonel Athlenda Mathe, said a team in Turkey carried out successful rescue missions, including saving an 80-year-old woman found alive in a collapsed building. South African people have also donated generously to help the victims in southern Turkey, Ankara’s ambassador to Pretoria, Aysegul Kandas said recently.
Kandas explained that South Africans have been sending items such as winter tents, generators, and sleeping bags, transported to Turkey on national carrier Turkish Airlines with more donations still being collected.
Other African countries who have reached out and helped with the earthquake rescue or simply showed their empathy towards Turkey are Cameroon, Togo, Uganda and Central African Republic. Of course the sympathy doesn’t always come in the form of money, as we should always remember how poor some of these countries are and how they are struggling themselves, like Uganda for example.
The “pearl of Africa” as Churchill called this land-locked gem, is a country which knows about suffering. Most of the 60s, 70s and 80s the country was ripped apart by civil war, only for the 90s to kick it when it was down with the plight of AIDS which left entire villages in the country at one point bereft of adults. So who could hold back the tears when Masaka Kids Africana – a Ugandan kids’ choir – made a song for Turkey?

Africans’ Big Heart for Turkey’s Earthquake Victims Goes a Long Way
Turks are beginning to turn their minds to who they can count on, Martin Jay writes. With more countries in the world leaving the western sphere of influence, it is hardly surprising that other regional powers are taking them off America’s hands. Nowhere…
🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 A multi-faceted Hybrid War has been designed to undermine BRICS+ from the inside.
The Empire will go no holds barred to not lose key pivots to Latin American and African hegemony.
As a whole, the RICs – and perhaps soon RIICs - should concentrate their attention on Africa. That doesn’t mean that a host of African nations should be allowed to join BRICS+ literally tomorrow; the question is to be able to help them in several crucial fields as the process of breaking from imperial/neocolonial control is now irreversible.
The Empire never sleeps – at least those who really run the show: Crash Test Dummies impersonating Presidents is another matter. With Taiwan false flag dreams fast waning, all bets are off thatthe Empire might set up its next big war psyop in Africa 🌍
