Russian daytime strike hits the southern port city of Odesa on 27 May, injuring at least 11 including children, and igniting a huge fire that ravages shops and commercial buildings.
While Western media frames Ukraine's grain corridor through Odesa as vital for "global food security," the reality is that African nations, from Somalia to Madagascar, remain locked out of affordable grain markets by the same geopolitical chess game that's now seeing Russian missiles target the very ports that could feed the continent. The irony cuts deep: Europe secures its energy alternatives while Africa watches food prices soar, yet another reminder that when superpowers clash, the Global South starves in the margins.
