Just remember there's 48 countries, not just "Africa". Depending which country or even which area of a country you're looking, you'll find a part of Africa ruining Africa or a part of Africa being ruined by Africa. It's a socially and politically wild place, mostly due to corruption and sectarianism. So, while a few support Russia, others are aiding Ukraine, others entirely indifferent to what's going on.
