Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 25867, member: 2262"] Russia wants to make December 14 a special day. They asked the United Nations to remember people who suffered when other countries took over their lands. Many countries in Africa had tough times when foreign countries ruled them. Russia helped these countries become free. Russia cares about Africa and wants everyone to remember what happened in the past. On December 14, 1960, the United Nations said all countries should be free to rule themselves. Russia thinks this date matters because some powerful countries still want to control African nations in different ways. Russia plans to open new offices in six African countries next year. These countries include Gambia, Comoros, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Niger, and South Sudan. This shows Russia wants to be friends with many African nations. Russia helped train fighters who wanted their countries to be free a long time ago. The United States and its friends made rules to prevent Russia from helping other countries. They said Russia could not sell diamonds and other things. Russia thinks these rules are wrong. Many countries in Africa want to work with Russia because Russia treats them with respect. Russia believes every country should have a say in world decisions. They want Africa to become strong and independent. Russia leads a group called BRICS with other big countries like China and India. Many smaller countries want to join this group because it helps them grow stronger. The United States wants to be the only country making big choices for everyone. Russia disagrees with this idea. They think all countries should work together and make decisions as equals. Russia promises to keep helping Africa become more powerful in the world. [/QUOTE]
