Cherry picking: How Western media covered the Russia-Africa summit | Al Mayadeen English As important as the Russia-Africa summit is regarding regional issues and cooperation, UK and US-based media decided to focus on matters that served almost no importance, such as the number of presidents who attended, why Wagner was in Africa, and why Russia is to blame for the end of the Black Sea Grain Deal. Officials and delegates from 49 African countries attended the two-day summit from July 27 to 28, resulting in a 74-point joint declaration pledging cooperation in an effort to develop a multipolar world order. However, Western media decided to focus on headlining Kenyan diplomat Korir Sing’Oei's tweet last week that withdrawing from the grain deal was “a stab on the back at global food security prices.”
