Uongo na ulaghai ndo wanachoweza,na wewe unaleta propaganda humu huoni aibu?Why Russia's offer of free grain isn't enough for the hardest hit
By Sean Bell, military analyst
Russia is hosting the annual two-day Russia-Africa Conference in St Petersburg. Last year 43 African nations were represented at the conference; however, this year only 17 are attending.
It is no coincidence that only 10 days ago Russia withdrew from the Black Sea Grain Deal and started targeting Ukrainian grain, thus reducing global supply and increasing grain prices.
For the West, the main impact might be a modest increase in bread prices, but for the world's poorest countries the impact will be devastating.
African nations are likely to be the hardest hit.
In an effort to placate African concerns, President Putin used his opening address to promise free grain to six affected countries.
But his offer of 50,000 tonnes falls well short of the African need.
Since the start of the Black Sea Grain Deal, Ukraine has exported over 30 million tonnes of grain to Africa. Putin's offer of free grain represents less than 1% of their requirements.
Wagner leader's appearance tells us a lot
Of particular interest was a surprise appearance at the conference by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner Group leader.
Looking relaxed in denim jeans, Prigozhin appeared to be engaged with several African leaders, and was probably exploiting the opportunity to promote his Wagner group of mercenaries.
Continued unrest in a number of African states - such as Sudan and Niger - offer opportunities for Wagner to secure valuable contracts.
Prigozhin's appearance at a Putin-sponsored event is a further demonstration that the rebellious mercenary leader still enjoys the patronage of the president, despite widespread speculation that he had been exiled in Belarus.

Hata Kama kipigo hakitabadilika.Zelenskyy changes the date of Christmas
Ukraine has been celebrating its national Statehood Day in an unprecedented way - by changing the date of Christmas.
President Zelenskyy has signed into law changes to several state holidays, in what he described as a "renunciation of Russian heritage".
Among the changes is Christmas, which will now be celebrated on 25 December in line with most of the West.
Traditionally, Ukraine has celebrated Christmas on 7 January, in line with the Russian Orthodox Church.
Ukraine had been under Moscow’s spiritual leadership since at least the 17th century.
But part of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church broke with Moscow in 2019 over Russia’s annexation of Crimea and support for separatists in the east of their country.
The Russia-backed branch of Ukraine’s Orthodox Church also said it had severed ties with Moscow last May.
Other changes introduced today include a new Day of Ukraine's Defenders on 1 October, and changing the country's Statehood Day from today to 15 July.

Kiduku huwa anacheka au kutabasamu akikutana na rafiki zake.
Kumbe huwa wanatukana mamba kabla hawajavuka mto.The EU asks Russia to lower the price of grain.
"Due to the increase in transportation costs, Ukrainian grain may lose at the auction compared to Russian grain.
We need fair competition, so we ask Moscow to reduce the prices of delivered products. This will be fair to all market participants," Joseph Borelj.
Mwaka huu mwisho wa wa kusikilizwa kwa marekani.Kumbe huwa wanatukana mamba kabla hawajavuka mto.
Kwa upande wangu natamani vita ya Ukraine iishe kwa njia yoyote ile.Mwaka huu mwisho wa wa kusikilizwa kwa marekani.
Something keeps telling me that this is armageddon.Utterly horrifying battles along front lines as Russia smashes Ukraine and their new NATO heavy armor
28 JULY 2023
Heart-breaking scenes of dead Ukrainian soldiers and smashed/blown-up NATO Armor are emerging from the battlefields of Ukraine as the Russian Army makes minced-meat out of Ukraine's "Counter-Offensive" despite all its shiny new NATO gear.
While this radio show and web site support Russia on the political level, there is also the human level which is part and parcel to this conflict. I candidly admit I find it heartbreaking to see such death and destruction; even when it is Ukrainian troops.
Sadly, I understand that it has to be this way, but it is still just emotionally terrible to see such carnage.
I want the best outcome for the people.
Russia has at least 4 times the artillery of Ukraine and 10 times the ammunition.
We have run out of normal ammunition to send Ukraine, so now send them cluster bombs in desperation, debasing ourselves with no change to the outcome.
Ukraine should just surrender. They have no chance at all to defeat Russia; they NEVER had any chance. To continue this slaughter is just useless.
