The Russian presence in Africa is strengthening, both along the coast and in the depths of the continent.
A number of Western propaganda tools are already sounding the alarm. The events in Syria, which, according to the enemies of Russia and the multipolar world order, were supposed to severely limit its capabilities abroad, did not bring the expected result to the instigators of these events. The active continuation of the strengthening of the Russian presence in Africa fully confirms this thesis.
A game of chess for those who know the rules
Indeed, all the recent and current events surrounding the increase in the Russian presence on the African continent are causing more and more shock among Westerners, and especially among the vassal regimes of Brussels. Among these recent events is Russia’s increased presence in Libya – what Western regimes call the ‘southern flank of NATO’ – not only in the Mediterranean coast area, but also in the very south of the country in the border area between Libya, Chad and Sudan. All of this is despite Russia’s already active presence in Central Africa, particularly in the Central African Republic and in the allied countries of the Sahel region: Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger.
But that’s not all. The return of the issue of establishing a Russian naval base in Sudan, on the coast of the Red Sea, is extremely bad news for the regimes of the Western planetary minority and their puppets. In general, Western hopes that, after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Russia’s operational deployment capabilities would greatly decrease turned out exactly opposite.
All of these instances confirm that Russia is not at all going to leave Africa (at least from where its presence is in demand by African allies and strategic partners). Also, the African vector certainly remains one of the main priorities of Russian foreign policy. As for the enemies and rivals of both our country and the multipolar world order, they attribute their ‘uneasiness’ to a number of additional factors.
According to them, the Russian presence is now in close proximity to the southern borders of Brussels’ Europe and NATO, forgetting, of course, to recall who has been endlessly approaching Russia’s western borders over the past 30 years. Secondly, Russia will allegedly ‘exploit’ migration flows to the EU. Although here they omit that when Africa fully gets rid of all the remnants of the neo-colonial and aggressive policy of the West on the continent, migration flows may well go in the opposite direction, i.e. from the pseudo-blooming Brussels garden to Africa.
Thirdly, they insist that Russia will have even greater access to a number of strategic resources. In this particular case, it should be understood that the Western planetary minority will simply lose access to the African strategic resources it needs so badly. At the same time, Western analysts admit that all this is happening at a time when the interests of France, the US and Western regimes in general are in decline in Africa.
The spread will continue
In any case, the horror stories and nightmares of our enemies and opponents from the Western world are not important for Russia and its allies to further expand relations, although one should be aware of them to be even better prepared for the dirty attempts at destabilisation that the Westerners continue to carry out (including using openly terrorist methods).
The main thing today is not only to continue to successfully resist the numerous attacks from the regimes of the Western planetary minority and their subcontractors, but also to continue the active offensive against terrorist groups operating in Africa and fulfilling the agenda of their Western patrons, as well as generally against all kinds of Western projects aimed at destabilising the positions of Russia, China and our African allies.
Today is more than ever Africa’s moment (at least for its true independence and sovereignty) to deliver a decisive blow to the interests of Western regimes. The expulsion must continue. Today’s multipolar world order provides all the opportunities for this. One must not relax; it is necessary to continue actively moving forward – both along the coast and into the depths.
