'He's real one' says Meloni on Faki after Russian prank call

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 29 - Premier Giorgia Meloni said "he's the real one" on greeting African Union commission president Moussa Faki at Rome's Africa summit Monday referring to a September prank call by two Russian comics pretending to be Faki who drew the Italian PM into a frank and previously publicly undeclared expression of doubt over Ukraine war fatigue.
    The premier's office diplomatic advisor, Francesco Talò, resigned over the embarrassing incident.
    Meloni, in taking press photos with Faki, pointed to him with her left thumb and said "he's the real one". (ANSA).
