Hello everyone. Like every day, the drafting of 20 minutes is mobilized to give you the latest information on the conflict. This weekend, a new attempt at mediation seems to be headed for failure. The day after the rejection of this initiative by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the African mediation delegation advocated Saturday in Saint Petersburg, before Vladimir Putin, the end of “the war”. But after the meeting, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described this African plan as “very difficult to implement”.
In addition to the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, at the head of the delegation of African mediators, it included three other presidents: Macky Sall (Senegal), Hakainde Hichilema (Zambia) and Azali Assoumani (Comoros), current president of the African Union, as well as Congolese, Ugandan and Egyptian representatives.
