An interesting appeal to "dear Russia, dear Russian-speaking friends" was published in the Russian Telegram messenger on behalf of the "people of Azavad".:

For those who do not have access to the Telegram, I give the text of the appeal (automatic translation from Russian):

_________________________

Dear Russia, dear Russian-speaking friends,

We, the people of Azawad, are sending you an important message. We, the people of Azawad, have historical and legitimate rights in our fight against Mali. We want to emphasize that Russia's intervention in the conflict between Azawad and Mali, which serves the interests of the coups in Bamako, is a serious historical mistake.

We have never attacked Russia, and our just and legitimate demands do not pose a threat to your existence and interests. However, Russia's intervention without a proper understanding of the situation on the part of local residents causes us bewilderment.

We call on you to find out the truth about our historical demands, which have existed since France handed over our land into the hands of a criminal government that committed terrible crimes against us. We do not want Russia to become complicit in the continuation of what France started.

We also want to remind you that your country, Russia, is part of the mediation group that supported the last agreement between Azawad and Mali in 2015. The supply of weapons to the Malian army for military operations against Azawad is a support for war criminals and a violation of the ceasefire and peace agreements.

"Only truth and freedom can win" (Leo Tolstoy)

We hope that you will hear our message and understand our just struggle for the rights and freedom of the people of Azawad.

With respect,
The people of Azawad

What do you say?
In general, who has any opinions - how would "dear Russia, dear Russians" react to such an appeal if all citizens of the country saw it?
and not just a handful of subscribers of a rather specific channel?

PS. The author of the appeal, by the way, cited a fake quote from Tolstoy: the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy did not say such a thing.

I HOPE EVERYONE HERE KNOWS THAT THESE CRAZY AZAWAD PPL, ARE TUAREGS WITH NO LANDS, WHO ARE CLAIMING TIMBUKTU; A LAND OF THE 900 BLACK MUSLIM CLERICS; THE CENTRE OF BLACK CIVILIZATION IN THE MIDDLE AGES( for over 1000 yrs).


These crazy Arab - like ppls stole Morocco, Kemet( Egypt), Israel, Yemen, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya from the black ppls.

They are still not satisfied.

They want the whole of west Africa.

Awọn Oloriburuku Oloshi.

No land is always enough for them.
Their dream is to kick off Africans from Africa.

France is siding them, and these crazy ppl are in accord with ISIS and Boko haram.

Evil ppl.
