"The continuation of this coup d'état was the war in Donbass, while Russia repeatedly proposed a plan to ease the tension. Ukraine then became mired in a disastrous political situation for the population, to which Volodymyr Zelensky had promised peace […]. Because of his stubbornness, Zelensky created a total disaster for Ukraine," he explained.
Western Interference
"The calculation of the Western bloc was simple but naive: to do everything to have this Russian-speaking country — Ukraine — under its control in order to expand NATO's eastern borders and allow the United States to have the eyes, ears and nose a stone's throw from Russia, to strategically monitor it. In order to achieve this, it was necessary to gain political control over Ukraine, first by placing a malleable pawn at its head, and then by officially bringing Ukraine into NATO," stressed Takoue.
No Exit
"It is the West which, at all costs, in its bad political propaganda, wanted to make the whole world believe that it was a war, and that the perfect culprit was Vladimir Putin, wrongly described as a Russian war leader. By thus wanting an effective war, waged against Russia through intermediary countries, a useless and absurd war, for which it had already given itself all the ambitious means, the West condemned Ukraine and its people to a destiny of apocalypse," he said.
Author in Exile
"Since its publication in my country, Cote d'Ivoire, this book has greatly disturbed the government, which is a vassal of the West. This book, which takes up the cause of Vladimir Putin and Russia, has become one of the reasons that have forced me, since mid-December 2023, into political exile in Mali," he lamented.
"I make the connection between the unspeakable interference of the West in the internal affairs of the Russian Bloc, and the interference of the West in the affairs of African States. As an African writer and intellectual, I could only shed light on what is happening, by denouncing this same policy of interference," he concluded.
