Assessing the Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict on Africa.

African leaders' peace mission to Ukraine and Russia, led by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, failed to bring the warring sides together. The African delegation put forward a 10-point proposal, including a recognition of Russia and Ukraine's sovereignty and continued unhindered grain exports, but both sides only agreed to continue engagement. The conflict has led to a shortage of grain and fertiliser in many African countries, which import the commodities from Ukraine and Russia respectively, leading to a spike in food prices around the world, especially in Africa.

African Leaders Urge Putin to End Ukraine War

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa tells Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Ukraine war is negatively affecting Africa, which relies on food and fertilizer deliveries from Russia and Ukraine. A delegation of African leaders visited Ukraine to try to help end the war and then traveled to St. Petersburg to meet with Putin, but the meeting ended with no visible progress. Putin declared that the first Russian tactical nuclear weapons have been deployed to Belarus as a deterrent against Western efforts to defeat Russia in Ukraine.

African Leaders' Diplomatic Efforts Between Russia and Ukraine

A group of African leaders, including presidents of Comoros, Senegal, South Africa, and Zambia, visited Ukraine on Friday to try to help end the nearly 16-month-old war. They then traveled to St. Petersburg to meet with Putin, who declared that the first Russian tactical nuclear weapons have been deployed to Belarus as a deterrent against Western efforts to defeat Russia in Ukraine. The African leaders' mission comes as Ukraine launches a counteroffensive to dislodge the Kremlin's forces from occupied areas, using Western-supplied advanced weapons in attacks in several sections of more than the 1,000-kilometer front line.

African leaders' peace mission to Ukraine marred by explosions.

African leaders, including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, on a peace mission to Ukraine were forced to shelter in bunkers amid air strikes on the capital Kyiv. The attack was repelled by air defenses as the leaders prepared to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The African leaders are expected to travel to Russia Saturday to hold talks with President Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, a standoff between Polish authorities and a group of South African journalists and security team accompanying Ramaphosa threatened to overshadow the visit.

African peace delegation visits Ukraine amidst conflict and tension.

African leaders arrived in Kyiv for a peace mission to mediate between Ukraine and Russia, but at least two explosions rocked the city and air raid sirens blared. The delegation, including leaders from South Africa, Senegal, Zambia, the Comoros, and Egypt, continued with their plans to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy before talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg. Ukraine's air force said it had downed six "Kinzhal" ballistic missiles, six cruise missiles, and two drones. The peace mission could propose a series of "confidence-building measures" during initial efforts at mediation, according to a draft framework document seen by Reuters.

South African President leads African peace mission to propose confidence building measures to Russia and Ukraine.

Seven African leaders, including South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa, are travelling to Ukraine and Russia on a peace mission to start a dialogue on issues that do not directly affect the military situation, such as a potential swap of Russian and Ukrainian prisoners of war and finding solutions to issues that matter to Africa, like grain and fertilizer. The delegation has been designed for breadth and balance, with different views on the conflict. Recent developments in South Africa appear to be influencing the venture, as the US is pressuring the country over its alleged support for Russia's war.

Violence Resurfaces in Manipur Despite Home Minister's Call for Peace

Dozens of houses were set on fire and gunfights raged between suspected militants and security forces in several districts of Manipur on Wednesday, shattering a daylong lull in violence as Union home minister Amit Shah went about his peace mission in the ethnic cauldron with visits to two relief camps. The state government extended the ban on internet services, clamped on May 3, till June 5. Meitei villagers and local leaders warned the Centre and Manipur government that they would form a “civilian defence force” to protect the people against repeated attacks by suspected Kuki militants if the authorities failed to stop the violence and take steps to restore peace in the state by Thursday.
