"Whatever #russia has an interest in, you had better watch out!" 🤬🤬🤬

What are #Russia’s real interests in #Africa? Let’s break it down.
#Russia often talks about "anti-colonial solidarity" with #Africa. In reality, its policy follows a classic colonial model - using manipulation, destabilization, coercion, and systematic extraction of resources.
In this model, #Africa is not a partner but a territory for exploitation:
• first, dependency and fear are created;
• then local elites are hooked on "security services";
• and finally, control is converted into concessions, quotas, & export flows.
Independent journalists show that #Russian influence structures in #African countries aim to create political turbulence and the managed degradation of institutions. #Russia supports forces that turn states into closed, controlled, and unsafe spaces for citizens - places where access to strategic assets can be "rewritten"
in exchange for fear and weapons.
This fits a material logic: #Africa holds about 30% of the world’s mineral reserves, including cobalt (over 70% of global production in the #DR_Congo), as well as significant deposits of gold, manganese, bauxite, lithium, and rare earth metals. Control over these resources provides both profit and geopolitical leverage. And that is exactly what #Russia wants.
