Can the quest for peace in Europe bring calm at home? By Rosebell Kagumire.
The war in Ukraine is well into its second year, many thousands have been killed and millions displaced.
Like most parts of the world, Africa has not escaped being impacted by the war, thanks to a web of trade links which have led to price hikes in goods from food to fuel. Many countries on the continent have relied on Ukraine and Russia as sources of wheat, fertilizer and other imports. In Kenya as much as 90 per cent of the wheat consumed is imported from Russia and Ukraine.1
