Some African leaders are raising their voices against rich countries that are quick to pour billions of dollars into Kiev but do not always live up to their commitments to the continent.
At the last meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington in April, "African countries expressed fears about double standards" in terms of international aid, a French government source said.
The war in Ukraine "exposes the true face of the great powers' action towards the continent", said a diplomatic source in Benin, interviewed ahead of a summit this week in Paris on poverty and climate financing, lamenting the fact that Africa has been "neglected".
