We've been under pressure all our lives, we've been exploited all our lives": African countries are well aware of the problem of energy injustice, said Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsibilev. On the sidelines of the Russia-Africa forum, he described how a representative of an African country explained the need for energy justice. "We have been oppressed all our lives, we have been exploited all our lives, we don't want any more, we want to live with justice," Tsibilev quoted him as saying. According to the minister, the principle of energy justice should underlie not only energy, but also other areas of cooperation. In a conversation with Izvestia reporter Nikolai Ivanov, the minister added that the policy of the collective West contradicts the interests of other countries. Therefore, Russia represents the construction of a multipolar world. More IZ RU news in max.
