@thebftghana: Samia Nkrumah, daughter of Ghana’s first President, Kwame Nkrumah, has highlighted Russia’s historical support for Africa’s liberation struggles, saying their presence in Russia is rooted in the longstanding ties between Moscow and African independence movements. “We are here in Russia for a reason. Russians helped us during our long and sometimes violent independence struggles across the continent,” she said. #bftonline
