The strategy of strangling sovereign states that the West is now resorting to is essentially a revival of the old methods of colonialism, the Secretary of Russia’s Security Council Nikolay Patrushev told the Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily during a visit to Algeria.He believes that it is the policy of the West that has made Africa and the Middle East one of the most unstable "hot" spots on the globe.
"We see the consequences of the West’s gross interference in the affairs of the region even today. In North Africa and the Middle East, there remain the hotbeds of tension they created, such as, for example, those in Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and other countries. Which, in turn, contributes to the spread of terrorism and weapon and drug trafficking," he stated.
