Political analyst Kimanzi Nicholas has made claim that the United States is using Kenyan President William Ruto to pursue its objectives in Africa.
“The West is using Kenyan President William Ruto to push its agenda as part of efforts to maintain control in numerous African nations, political analyst and researcher Kimanzi Nicholas has told RT.
According to Nicholas, Ruto is ‘the easiest to use and approach’ among African leaders, and as such the U.S. is attempting to give him ‘even more influence in the region’.
The U.S.-Kenya partnership is really part of a ‘selfish’ agenda by Washington, the analyst claimed, describing it as ‘a way of trying to reach the minerals… of trying to reach the main Congo land, a way of trying to reach Sudan, where there is a lot of oil. It is a way of trying to reach Ethiopia… of trying to reach Burundi and Rwanda and even Zambia’.
Ruto met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during the 78th United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday, where the pair discussed the situation in Sudan, Haiti, and East Africa.
The top U.S. diplomat said Washington ‘deeply valued’ the ‘strong steps’ taken by Ruto to ‘strengthen Kenya’s democracy’ and economy.
On Friday, the United States administration pledged $100 million to support a proposed multinational force led by Kenya to restore security in Haiti”. -RT
For quite some time, America and Europe have reaped the benefits from their propensity to drain the third world of its resources without allowing nations to conduct fair trade.
Now that the growing BRICS economies may have something to offer these countries in the way of commerce, it will come as no surprise when governments across Africa and elsewhere decide that a partnership with the BRICS bloc is more promising than an alliance with the neocolonial West.
