Russia has been positioning itself as the supposed ally of Africa. However a closer look at its activities shows that Russia is a sinister enemy of Africa and its people globally. Russian mining company Windalco deliberately dumped toxic waste into the Rio Cobre river of Jamaica. It is the second longest river in Jamaica. Thousands of fish died and many Jamaicans. Russian mining company Windalco then denied responsibility for the pollution and damage in a statement to the Jamaican media. Russia has dumped toxic bauxite waste into the Rio Cobre river many times. Over 80% of the forests in Jamaica have been destroyed as a result of mining and exploitation by foreign nations. Russia is a horrible colonizer and exploiter of the African Diaspora that is poisoning the water supplies of Jamaicans and damaging their land. Bauxite mining and refinement causes damage to the environment that cannot be reversed. Below 👇 are 3 of the many companies involved in bauxite mining in Jamaica:

Russian company: Windalco (West Indies Alumina Co.) is a subsidiary of Russian company UC Rusal.

Chinese company: Jiuquan Iron & Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. (Jisco)

American company: Noranda Bauxite (a subsidiary of the American companies New Day Aluminum Holdings LLC and Century Aluminum)
