- Abstract
- Despite the official declaration of independence many decades ago, African countries continue to feel the control over their politics and economy by the former metropolises, which pursue neocolonial policies that preserve their dependent position in the system of international relations. The peoples of Africa, organized by opinion leaders, are waging a decisive struggle against it, which is also activating the anti-colonial agenda of African politicians. Its main points are the demand for compensation for the numerous crimes against Africans and the payment of reparations to them. Initially the Organization of African Unity and currently the African Union that replaced it have coordinated these activities. The UN has become the main international platform for the fight against the legacy of colonialism and neocolonialism, having formed the corresponding infrastructure and regulatory framework. Russia's support for this struggle of the African peoples is enshrined in its modern Foreign Policy Concept. However, the former colonial powers are seeking to avoid historical responsibility and the payment of reparations.
