Russia Resurgent? Untangling the Role & Meaning of Moscow's Presence in West Africa and the Sahel
Zurück e Teilen:  d 20.06.2022 - 20.06.2022 | Hamburg Growing international concern about Russia's military and political resurgence in Africa has been rekindled by its invasion of Ukraine since February 2022. Russia's growing influence in Africa through the re-establishment of old ties and the creation of new ones has been perceived as a quest to re-establish the geopolitical gains that the Soviet Union achieved prior to its collapse in 1989.
