Soviet Afro-Asian Solidarity Committee

The Soviet Afro-Asian Solidarity Committee (Russian: Советский комитет солидарности стран Азии и Африки, abbreviated СКССАА, SKSSAA) was an organization in the Soviet Union, which mobilized solidarity efforts to national liberation movements in Africa and Asia.

[6] SKSSAA published, jointly with the Institute of Oriental Studies, the sociopolitical and scientific journal Aziia i Afrika Segodnia.

[10] Members of minority populations (such as Caucasian and Central Asian ethnic groups) were highly represented in SKSSAA.

Often SKSSAA portrayed the experience of peripheric Soviet regions as models of development towards Third World countries.

[1] SKSSAA provided the African National Congress in exile with material resources, such as food, clothes and vehicles.
