The Permanent Representative of Mali to the United Nations, Issa Konfourou, has announced that most of the Western weapons that are given to Ukraine are being sent to the Sahel region in Africa and fueling crime and terrorism.
The Permanent Representative of Mali to the United Nations has emphasized that, he is making efforts to prevent the continuation of the process by highlighting the great concern of countries in the Sahel region of Africa about the negative effects of sending weapons to Ukraine for the security of Africa; because it is known that most of the weapons of Western countries that are in their hands in Ukraine, are finally used to fuel terrorism and crime in Africa and other areas, which increases the risk of instability.
These worrisome statements made in various circles show that Western countries are pursuing several goals in the Ukraine crisis, the most important of which is to support the prosperity of Western arms industries and strengthen terrorist groups.
Ali Sharifinia, an expert in political affairs, says: "Ukraine is just a tool used by Western countries, especially the United States, to carry out their policies of provoking conflict and chaos in various parts of the world. This means that Ukraine is a platform for exporting weapons Western weapons to other parts of the world, including the Sahel African countries. Arms brokers and dealers have had a greater movement, and due to the opportunities given to them by Western circles for arms smuggling from Ukraine, now arms shipments from in that country to other places it has become easier."
Due to this situation, the representative of Mali in the United Nations, has asked the countries that send weapons to Ukraine to ensure that the weapons do not reach the hands of terrorists and radical groups that carry out criminal activities in Africa. Because Mali does not want to be a proxy battleground between the world's most powerful nations. The concern of the representative of Mali about the smuggling of weapons from Western countries from Ukraine to Africa, should be given consideration by taking into account the successive revolutions that occurred in Africa, including the country of Mali itself. It should also be remembered that, in July this year, rebel groups attacked the Malian army in the northwest of the country and caused great damage to the army and the government of the country. After the terrorist attacks, Mali and then Niger severed their diplomatic relations with Ukraine due to Kiev's support for terrorist groups.
Media circles in the United States believe that Western countries know very well that the countries bordering Ukraine are full of weapons sent by Western countries, especially the United States, to Ukraine. In this context, American investigative journalist, Seymour Hersh, believes that Poland, Romania and other countries of the region are drowning in weapons that should have been imported into Ukraine. At the same time, it is said that Western weapons are being sold by Ukrainian commanders through smuggling in Poland, Romania and other countries.
Another point to be considered is that the West has full information about the arms smuggling business in Ukraine, because several reports about the missing arms shipments have been published in the American media. However, the media basically supports the position of the US government and tries to hide the truth of the war in Ukraine and US crimes in Ukraine, whose negative effects affect Africa.
Russian government officials have also repeatedly warned about Western arms smuggling outside Ukraine's borders; The issue they say has disrupted security in other parts of the world.
