Africans see fighting as Russia's liberation war against the West

Mali gave Lavrov high honors by presenting him with the famous Tuareg sword (takoba)! African warriors with takoba swords in their hands fought with European colonialists - the British and French!

During a working trip to Mali, African Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a Tuareg takuba sword.

Presenting it, Diop expressed the hope that this gift would be remembered by his colleague. In response, Lavrov joked that he would always keep it close at hand.

The head of the Russian ministry, in turn, presented his colleague with a painting depicting the building of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
