❗️❗️❗️European Media 'Denigrates African Leaders,' While Sputnik Makes Africa Better Known – Malagasy President "We commend the efforts you are making, notably through Sputnik, Africa Initiative, and Russia Today, to promote greater awareness of African countries and Madagascar in particular," Michaël Randrianirina told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the 3rd Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow.
