In his weekly letter, President Cyril Ramaphosa says Pretoria did not vote for or against the UN resolution on the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine because it did not call for meaningful engagement that would end the conflict.

The President said the country used dialogue to end apartheid and conflicts in many African countries insisting that continuing to support the call for negotiation and dialogue, does not render the country’s commitment to human rights any less.

South Africa was criticized for abstaining on the UN Resolution calling on its BRICS partner, Russia to withdraw its military forces from Ukraine.He has called on Russia and Ukraine to subject the conflict to mediation and work to reach an agreement that would help end the conflict. At least 141 nations have voted in favour of the resolution while five including Russia voted against with 35 abstaining and only Eritrea as the only African nation to vote with Russia.

It was Napoleon, Hitler, Milošević and now its Putin, will you please all you Whites live in peace. Also blame Brics nations for this unreasonable and senseless conflict which the civilised world is against because they are finacially and economically involved. Peace must reign.
