Assessing the Impact of Russia-Ukraine Conflict on Africa.

TL;DR
African leaders' peace mission to Ukraine and Russia, led by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, failed to bring the warring sides together. The African delegation put forward a 10-point proposal, including a recognition of Russia and Ukraine's sovereignty and continued unhindered grain exports, but both sides only agreed to continue engagement. The conflict has led to a shortage of grain and fertiliser in many African countries, which import the commodities from Ukraine and Russia respectively, leading to a spike in food prices around the world, especially in Africa.
